Well, that’s an LDS newspaper (which some people may not know), so that influences the articles they publish. Getting married and having children is inextricably intertwined with the theology, so it’s a huuuge deal in LDS culture. As @88jm19 noted, there’s a certain viewpoint that dominates that article, and I also found the Brookings one more insighful (thanks for the link).
