    1) The average age that people get married is now 26 for females and 28 for males, which is 6 years later than it was 55 years ago. This is likely due to people prioritizing careers, education and financial stability over marriage and children at a younger age. 2) Only 20% of adults aged 18-29 are currently married, compared to 55 years ago when more couples in that age range were already married with families. 3) Many people are delaying or avoiding marriage and children altogether in order to focus on their careers and education or pay off student loans without taking on additional financial responsibilities. Overall, people are waiting later in life to commit to a long-term relationship and family.

    peopb geting marbd is twenty six for fenrales and trxrenty eight for nrabs. I stoongly believe that

    ttrc marriage and birth rate age are declining all over the world because oftlre stess that peoph are
    r.urder.

    Not everyone is able to find tire in ften brsy lift to cormit thermehres to a significant otkr.

    nothave ths time and moneyto srpporttlprmelves and dedbate theirtims to a bving frmlr.
    Ttte.rmrnage rate has dropped fve perced within one year (Cohn 2). This takes into
