I don't think that's true.

It may no longer be as widely seen as an essential prerequisite for sex or a serious relationship, (which isn't a bad thing in my opinion) but it's certainly in no danger of disappearing.

It doesn't need to be in danger in order to be "slowly dying", but, anyway, I said that based on some responses here and on some declarations I have heard in many places over the years. I know that (naturally) this experience doesn't represent the whole trend, so I may be completely wrong.

I think due to the demographics on VGChartz, we're getting a disproportionate amount of people uninterested in marriage compared to the general population.

A 2013 poll in the US, for example, found that while its importance has dropped, only 5% of respondents had never married and never wanted to.
