The state of marriage discussed at Lifetree Café

The state of marriage in America will be explored at Lifetree Café on Monday, March 8, at 2 p.m.

The program — “Is Marriage Obsolete? Why More People Are Saying, ‘I Don’t’ ” — will examine the declining marriage rate and the underlying causes of the trend.

“With divorces on the rise and people getting married later or not marrying at all, the institution of marriage is coming under fire,” said Lifetree representative Craig Cable. “Some wonder if marriage is an outdated concept and is still needed.”

The program encourages those who attend to share their views of marriage.

Admission to the 60-minute event is free. Lifetree Café Lifetree Café meets at Jalapeno's Mexican Restaurant, 314 N. Second Avenue, Sandpoint.
