Those things became increasingly expensive and when you grow up knowing you probably can't afford the standard suburban lifestyle you tend to just make other plans.

Society realized there are many different ways to happily live one’s life.

The finding a decent job that would allow everyone to buy a nice home bit has changed.

That type of social construct depended on relative long, stable employment stints. Technology and employers have created such instability that people feel they need to constantly adapt and change to stay afloat, and a stable, reliable paycheck is gone for most. Naturally, people can’t make long-term commitments like starting a family or buying a home that readily any more.

People change and evolve. Also, people have been taught differently, and believe different things, and those things mixed. Also, people just don't believe in God anymore, at all, let alone the God of the Bible, so things deteriorated from there. And, people don't care anymore. People don't want to marry anymore. People aren't impressed by others anymore, to be able to get nice jobs (employers hire who they will hire). People don't want children anymore. People are just happy to have a roof over their head, now, whether it's a nice house, or a small apartment. People just don't care.
