I once met a middle-aged bachelor at a summer resort whose customers were from various classes and creeds. When asked why he was still un-married, he replied with a frown : "marriage is a very difficult problem !". He kept repeating "marriage is a very difficult problem!" until he finally decided not to marry at all. This man is one of a minority group of men and women who refrain from marriage because they are afraid of the responsibilities and problems.
