Marriage rates among Brigham Young University students are declining, prompting the LDS Church-owned school to implement new programs aimed at facilitating romantic connections, according to The Salt Lake Tribune.

BYU has historically had higher marriage rates than most universities, reflecting Latter-day Saint cultural emphasis on marriage and family. The school is now stepping in with institutional support for dating and relationship-building among students.

The story touches on broader trends in marriage patterns among young Latter-day Saints and the Church's educational institutions' responses.
