Why Singles Aren't Getting Married?

Dr. Tom and Dr. Beverly Rodgers in the book titled The Singlehood Phenomenon identify what they called "top ten brutally honest reasons people aren't getting married".

1. Skepticism about love and marriage
2. Lack of faith in God's provision
3. Unresolved issues from the past
4. Confusion about the rules (of dating/courtship)
5. A poor understanding of the purpose of marriage
6. Fear of getting hurt
7. Wanting the perfect mate
8. Not dealing with prior heartbreak
9. An unbalanced emphasis on career (wanting to get established before getting married)
10. Concern that their marriage will fail
