Below are a few excerpts:
Marriage ages have risen all over the world, but the increase is
particularly marked in Asia. People there now marry even later than they do
in the West. The mean age of marriage in the richest places—Japan, Taiwan,
South Korea and Hong Kong—has risen sharply in the past few decades, to
reach 29-30 for women and 31-33 for men.

Exactly. My pastor mentioned this concern regarding the recent pass of the

church for not performing gay marriages, and church members sue the church
for performing gay marriages. |
