Iād also be interested to find out what proportion of EA marriages are to non-EAs, and what proportion are relationships that began before either party discovered EA. I feel like thatād affect what the best explanation of this trend would be.
For one data point, I got married this year (~1.5 years after learning of EA), my relationship began before I discovered EA, and my partner is not an EA.
And Iām 23, so apparently I might be ~25% of the married EA cohort in my age group. (Though I wasnāt married in 2018 and may not have taken the survey then, so Iām not actually one of the four married 18-24 year olds shown there. Also, Iād guess that EA has grown and that this will slightly increase the size of each cohort.) So perhaps my one data point can be extrapolated from to a greater extent than one would intuitively assume.

If you allow me a little joke, maybe this can be explained by people trying to follow the āmarry to giveā path?
(Iāll indeed allow the little joke, and will furthermore add a link to the hilarious post which I think orginated that phrase, for anyone who hasnāt had the pleasure of encountering it yet.)
