With all that's been reported in the news recently regarding marriage, a new chart from Heritage's FamilyFacts.org bears some good news.
Recent marriages are lasting longer. Commitment to marriage steadily declined from 1960 to the early 1980s, but as the chart highlights, this pattern is starting to reverse.
Nearly 75 percent of the women who married for the first time in the early 1990s reached their 10th wedding anniversaries. This is a three-percentage-point increase compared to women who married in the early 1980s.
Despite what the media would have you believe, these numbers are promising for American families given the many personal and social benefits of marriage.
FamilyFacts.org and the daily "Family Facts" radio features provide your audience with the latest data and information regarding marriage, childbearing, and many more areas affecting families today.
