Jason- These graphs are so striking, especially the rise of online spaces as places to meet. And yet: the physical attributes to relationships are in decline. Food for thought for sure.

Can you clarify "the physical attributes to relationships are in decline"?

I am aware that in person participation of social groups (as documented in the book Bowling Alone), 3rd spaces (affordable places to eat) are also in decline but most Americans live in big suburban homes, so there's still room...what's probably lacking is that we have an easy escape...our phones.
