IMHO its not that we do not want to get married, rather it is that single individuals don’t want to play the game to get married (and this applies to the men and women, however women are more willing to play the games).

When I say “games” I mean the shidduch game (having to deal with demeaning shadchanim and superfluous singles, single events that are do not accomplish anything besides getting girls and boys into a room where they are not allowed to speak to each other without tacit approval from, again, a shadchan, not allowed to go someplace fun on dates, but rather a boring lounge, and many other examples).

If all the married people would just take a second and look back at the process these days in which a person has to go through to get a date, let alone get married (having to deal with what gifts to give, who will support the newly married couple, vorts, wedding planning, etc…) it should make them wonder why anyone would want to go through the process in the first place.
