However, the big countries with big drops in marriage are mostly rich: France, Italy, Germany, Japan and the US. Is this a rich-country phenomenon? One thing that sets apart some of those countries

So people are not getting married but are living common law, which is something your MTGOW folks consider the same thing, because it is bondage for you, because legally/financially, it is pretty much identical.
How then are you able to not count the common-law marriages in citing this statistic that marriage is in decline?
That's not even counting people who are delaying marriage for the simple fact that they are living at home during school or even longer to pay back student loans etc. That's not a marriage issue, that's a comment on our economy.
