Home front: 2025

EAST LANSING, Mich. (AP) -Most people will marry two, three or more times by the year 2025, a Michigan State University professor predicts.

"When people start living as old as 125, it will be harder to stay with one partner for a lifetime," says Vera Borosage, professor of family and child sciences. "Divorce will no longer be regarded as a societal problem, but a solution."

"Men and women will still depend on each other for support and will marry and have one or two children," she said.

If existing trends continue, she said, the future will find more group living of married couples, more living together before marriage, more homosexual cohabitation and more aduults remaining single.

And, she said, "Women who want to be homemakers won't feel guilty if they don't have careers outside the home."
