[QUOTE="Fran, post: 576328, member: 3"] I can tell you that much of those numbers are both cultural and economic as SuZir says. Children do not leave home to go to college. I can only speak to my Italian families. They get educated at universities that are in the area. Mother's guard their son's with warrior attitude. Not sure why but they are taken care of by their mother's until a proper wife steps in. : ) Property ownership and rent are very expensive in Italy, taxes are high and jobs scarce. So I think in traditional families this is how it is done. You have a boy/girl friend for years before you can afford to marry. I didn't see a lot of serial dating(like I did until I found the right one). It seems commitment starts younger and lasts longer until marriage. Not sure what the statistics are for how happy they are but it's what I observed as the norm. Not sure happy is a concern. Unless your spouse is abusive or not able to support the family then you are married. : )Not better or worse but different. [/QUOTE]
