Could any native speaker help me with this part of my paper? Thanks a lot!!! In western societies, just like in France, where individualism is extremely popular, marriage is only a combination of two individuals. The purpose of marriage is to choose a life partner for oneself. According to studies (Document 3), the number of marriages in France continued to decline in recent years. The French are getting married less and less. 228,000 marriages were celebrated in 2017. This is 4,700 fewer marriages than in 2016 and more than 8,000 fewer than in 2015. The number of marriage has augmented slightly in 2014 since it followed the vote authorizing same-sex couples to marry. The number of marriages in France continues to decline year by year. This can be mainly explained by the decrease in the number of French between 20 and 59 years, the age of almost all marriages. Another reason that cannot be ignored is that French people today have multiple choices: they can formalize their relationship within the framework of a PACS or marriage, or, third option, remain in free relationship. For French young people today, living together and sharing daily life don’t necessarily require social recognition and are not related to the future. It even allows to find out if the person is really the right one. In this case, people are free to choose what they want without being stuck in a relationship. It is worth mentioning that in France, nearly 60% of births occur out of wedlock. (Document 4)
