• Description:
  Marriages increased for the sixth consecutive year, rising 1 percent from 2,390,252 in 1980 to 2,422,145 in 1981. Because this increase between 1980 and 1981 was accompanied by a comparable increase in the population, the marriage rate remained at 10.6 marriages per 1,000 population in 1981 (table 1 and figure 1). According to provisional data for 1982, marriages increased another 3 percent, setting a new national record of 2,495,000. The provisional marriage rate rose to 10.8 per 1,000 population. Except for 1972 and 1973, the marriage rate has not been as high since 1950.
