5 Reasons Why People Are Getting Married Later And Later In Life

In the United States, men and women wait longer than ever. In the 1950s, women were 20, men married at the age of 23. Since then, the median age at first marriage has risen rapidly. Women are 27.1 years old, men 29.1 years old, we are at the highest level ever now.
