I wonder if that's a generational thing. My grandparents and parents seemed to have other couples that they got together with on a fairly regular basis.
We don't really.
I also wonder if it has to do with societal mobility. Previous generations were much more likely to move "back home" after school or the military and stay there for their entire lives. We live over a thousand miles from our parents and have lived in six cities during 30+ years of marriage.
As for risk taking, I'm much less inclined now then I was at a younger age.
