Content: 1. The Median Age for a First Marriage is the Highest Ever
The U.S. Census Bureau has tracked marriage rates since 1890, and its data shows the median age for a first marriage has been climbing higher and higher over the last 70 years. As of 2020, the census reported the median age for a first marriage was about 30 for men and 28 for women. This is the highest median age ever recorded in the U.S., and it speaks to the fact that today’s young adults are waiting longer to get married than previous generations. The median age for a first marriage is currently at its highest point in American history. The feminist movement in the U.S. has changed a woman’s expectations for her career, marriage, and life. In 1950, the average age for a woman to get married for the first time was 20. Today, the average 20-something woman is more likely to seek a college degree or other educational attainment before turning her mind to marriage in her late 20s or early 30s. 2.
