Number of Marriages:

 

According to the Oxford Dictionary, marriage is defined as “the legally or formally recognized union of a man and a woman (or, in some jurisdictions, two people of the same sex) as partners in a relationship” there are two types of marriages, the one performed by the church and the one performed on a notary.

Critical analysis:

 

Marriages are fundamental for the education industry, this is due to the fact that supposedly the more marriages there are, the more children will be born into this world and will need education, and therefore the decreasing number of marriages is a threat to the industry.
