Why do you think that a great majority of adults age 20 to 34 in the United States, and 25 percent of adults age 25 and older—as compared to just 9 percent in 1960—have never been married? Provide information from the chapter to support your answer

What will be an ideal response?


Answer: Many community organizations support the single lifestyle, providing opportunities for single people to lead rich, rewarding lives and maintain a supportive network of friends as well as family. Moreover, cohabitation has become an increasingly common choice for Americans, and the great majority of couples now cohabitate before marriage. People who have "never married" are not necessarily people who are not in an intimate relationship.
