The latest trends in marriage show that more women are waiting longer to marry. According to 2005 figures, more women in the U.S. are single than married.

Most research about divorce suggests that marrying at an older age can significantly reduce your risk of divorce, so will this trend lower divorce rates in the years to come? On the flip side, research shows that those who live together before marriage are at a greater risk of divorce. Today’s women might be waiting longer to marry, but more of them are cohabitating with their partner before tying the knot.
