The Evolution of Marriage and Relationships in America

Marriage rates in America have declined in the early 2000s, and less marriages are happening now than in previous decades. However, this trend has led to some positive outcomes. Singles are taking more time to understand what they want, resulting in better and more durable marriages. Research shows that longer courtship and marrying at a later age increases the likelihood of a successful marriage, a trend that is consistent with the current situation in America.
