    The document discusses trends in American society from the 1960s-present regarding marriage and family structures. In the 1960s-1970s, there was a rise in divorce rates, cohabitation, and illegitimacy. By the 1970s, marriage rates had returned to 67% though cohabitation increased to 18%. From the 1990s to present, marriage rates have declined to 49% while cohabitation has risen to 32% and divorce rates have increased to 50%. Illegitimacy rates have also risen significantly over this period, especially in the black community. Overall, less than half of Americans are currently married.
