High divorce rates imply less patience with matrimonial stumbling blocks
Marriage bells ring later for first weddings in U.S.
WASHINGTON — Americans are tying the knot later in life than ever before.
The typical age for a first marriage has climbed to 26.7 years for men and 24.5 for women, the Census Bureau reported yesterday.
The Associated Press
At the same time, people are showing less patience with problem marriages as growing numbers untie the bond with divorce, according to the report, Marital Status and Living Arrangements: March 1994.
In 1890, when age at marriage first was collected, the median age to get hitched was 26.1 for men and 22.0 for women.
The marriage age declined slowly for 66 years and then started to climb toward today's record level, said Arlene Saluter, the study's author.
In years past, there was some knu of magic date by which people had to be married, said Stephanie Kenitzer of Odenton, Md.
"People aren't saying, 'I'm 20 or I'm 25, so I'm an old maid,'" she said. "It's no longer looked upon as a negative that you're not married at a certain age."
Kentizer said her own marriage at age 27 "just kind of happened when it happened."
From 1970 to 1994 the number of divorced people climbed from 4.3 million, or 3 percent of the adult population, to 17.4 million, or 9 percent.
While they are slower to tie the knot, Americans are choosing more quickly to untie it.
Increasing educational and employment opportunities for women have contributed to postponing marriages, De Vita said. For men, stagnating wages in the 1970s and 1980s made marriage less affordable, she added.
"The high levels of divorce and remarriage in the United States today suggest that Americans may be placing a high value on forming successful marriages and may be less tolerant of marital problems than were earlier generations." De Vita said.
From 1970 to 1994 the number of Americans aged 18 and older who never had married leaped from 21.4 million, or 16 percent, to 44.2 million, or 23 percent.

Women's increasing economic independence helped ease the financial pressure to remain in an unsatisfactory marriage, she said.

The age of first marriage declined gradually through the years, bottoming at 22.5 for men and 20.1 for women in 1966.
In a recent study by the independent Population Reference Bureau, researcher CarolJ. De Vita said that young adults were delaying entrance into marriage, although very few wouldforeo it altogether

"Children are considerably more likely to be living with only one patient today than in 1970," she said.
While marriage isn't out of style, the typical family today is much different from the one of years past.
"The delay in first marriages and rise in divorce among adults are two factors contributing to the growing proportion of children in one-parent living situations," said Saluter, the census study's author.

Her analysis found that between 1970 and 1994, the proportion of children living with two parents declined from 85 percent to 69 percent. Two-parent families include biological, step and adoptive parents.
The study found that 27 percent of children lived with just one parent in 1994, up from 12 percent in 1970.
Mothers had custody of 88 percent of those children. Fathers had custody of 12 percent, up from 9 percent in 1970.
