One important thing to remember about 1910 is that this was in the heart of the Victorian Era. Marriage was not the soul searching process it is today; it was a duty rather than a choice. If a daughter did not get married and become the ward of her husband, she was still the ward of her parents until they died off or she could somehow produce her own income, which was basically impossible, and not attractive to middle-class women anyways. Another thing to think about is the sheer variety we have available today causes us to expect more out of a spouse. In 1910, options were limited to the people you could meet face to face, thus the threshold was lowered significantly. And now that this wider variety of marital options is open to us today, many find it much harder to sift through the people they know, and find a person who's life image corresponds to your own.
I don't know whether it was better to marry in 1910 or now, but there's certainly a lot more freedom today, which I personally appreciate!
