DELAYING MARRIAGE
U.S. Census estimates show that for the first time, unmarried adults represented more than half of American households. 73% of men and 62% of women in their 20s in '06 said they had never been married, according to Census data. Just 23.5% of men and 31.5% of women ages 20-29 were married in '06 vs. 31.5% of men and 39.5% of women in '00. (Analysis excludes those who are married but separated.) (USA Today 9/12/07)
