Tracking Teen Attitudes About Marriage and Cohabitation

High school seniors are increasingly likely to say that their ideal time to marry is several years after high school, according to a new NCFMR Family Profile, High School Seniors' Ideal Time for Marriage (FP-16-15). The largest percentage change is in the "over five years from now" category, which doubled from 1976 to 2014. In 2014, the majority of high school seniors responded that their ideal time to marry was "over five years from now." Conversely, the percentage of high school seniors responding that their ideal time to marry was "one year from now" dropped from 9% in 1976 to 2% in 2014. This profile is the third of a three-part series using Monitoring the Future data to examine trends in high school seniors' attitudes towards marriage and cohabitation.
