And then... they marry the next one

It seems really weird, but there were around me lot of my friends who  had long-term relationships (5 years and more) and if they did not marry, they split up and married the next guy (girl or boy) after couple of months being together. 

The winner in this contest is definitely one of my friend, who told the girl on the second date he wants to marry her and have kids with her and what is funny, she actually said yes...

It seems that even if we are living (as THEY say - who the hell are they? media?) in the era, when the traditional values such as marriage are declining, it looks like people are actually still want to get married. The only difference is that back in the past people younger than 20 were already having kids (which is OK if you died around 50) nowadays people are having kids around their 30s.
