  • Description:
    Most Americans marry at some time in their lives. Only 6 percent of men and women over 40 years of age in 1986 had never married. Data from the vital registration system show, however, that in recent years men and women have been waiting longer to marry, more of the brides and grooms have been married previously, and they are taking more time after divorce to remarry. In 1986 there were 189 million U.S. residents ages 15 years and over. Of these, 110 million were married, 50 million had never been married, 14 million were widowed, and 14 million were divorced (l). During the year, 6 percent of unmarried people got married.
