The number of Americans who are married has slipped into a minority, says Marianne, and less than 50 percent of the population is saying "I do." 

Listeners weigh in on the topic of marriage, and Marianne asks some compelling questions:

• Do you believe marriage is important or do you think it's just a slip of paper? If you are committed to your marriage, why?
• Is marriage more material security or spiritual partnership?
• Do you want to get married if you are single?
• Are you afraid of marriage, uncomfortable with the concept, or ready and willing to tie the knot?

From people who pray and fast for a mate, to those who think marriage should be banned altogether, Marianne hears from a diverse group of callers who share their personal thoughts and feelings on the subject.
