Age at First Marriage

Age at First Marriage
Following a sharp decline during and after World War II (1939-1945), the age at which men and women in the United States first marry has steadily increased. In the mid-1990s, the age of first marriage for women was higher and closer to the age at which men first marry than at any time in the previous 100 years.
