As an institution, the state of marriage is a grim picture – as clearly shown by recent statistics. Fewer people are getting married, and those who do are getting married increasingly later in life.
In fact, since the U.S. Census Bureau began tracking it in 1940, Americans are now less likely to be married than at any other time. In 1949, 78.8% of households were led by a husband and a wife. Today, it’s just 47.1%.
