Experts say a new trend in marriage is that younger generations are delaying tying the knot.
The average age for marriage has climbed to around 29 years old today, compared to around 22 years old in 1965.
On today’s Noon Edition program, experts spoke about all the factors influencing changes in marriage.
Dr. Helen Fisher is a senior researcher for the Kinsey Institute. She says delayed marriage is a good sign.
The later you marry, the more likely you are to remain married,” she says.
Fisher says one third of people in their twenties are still living at home as a way to save money. She also says one third of singles today want to be financially stable before they get married.
