the concept of marriage stems from long before the baby boomers, and long before it was a "fiscal" thing.

Every married generation would have encouraged the next one to get married, it's not suddenly a thing the baby boomers started doing.

You missed my point, and I didn't say that. I feel that generation highlighted the traps and reality of marriage, making subsequent generations wary. It's a fact that Baby Boomers have the highest generational divorce rate and actually continue to divorce, even in old age.

I am not familiar with the publication source, but I found this reiterating a similar perspective. It's not a controversial one despite being overlooked.
