If after online dating, lesser people are getting married, the picture being painted here is that the institution of marriage was doing just fine … until online dating came along. Are these statistics an indication of a failure in the online dating industry?

    I think less people are marrying because a decrease in respect to the institution in it's self. Why marry when you can just live together these days. I still believe in doing God's way, It always works better in my oppinion.

    No! It means that those who do online dating are less trusting due to all the scams at online dating sites who use bots and deception to manipulate the members into becoming paid members! Match.com, one of the largest sites is the biggest offender and scammer! Therefore less people are paying.
