Question: average age of men at marriage

 Taking
the 83 marriages of the 72 men, the average age is 31.5 and the median
27.8, making the average age gap 6.5 and the median 4.2 (counting first
marriages for the men only, the average age is 28.3 and the median
26.3; the average age gap is 4.7 and the median 3.7). The youngest of
the men at marriage - and the only teenager - was Andrew Johnson, 18
and 4 months when he married 16-year-old Eliza McCardle in 1827. The
oldest President to marry for the first time was Grover Cleveland, aged
49 when he married 21-year-old Frances Folsom in the White House in
1886, the year after he first became President. John Tyler, Nelson
Rockefeller, Millard Fillmore, Woodrow Wilson, Benjamin Harrison, Alben
Barkley and Aaron Burr all married for the second time when they were
over 50, Burr being the oldest at 77 (as described above). Apart from
Cleveland, Presidents Tyler and Wilson married in office (both having
lost their first wives since becoming president) and Alben Barkley
married while vice-president. The 33-year gap betwen
Vice-President Barkley, born on 24 November 1877, and his second wife
Jane Hadley, born 23 September 1911, is the largest for any of the
couples here; they were married the week before his 72nd birthday, when
she was 38. The biggest gap for a President is that between John Tyler
(born 29 March 1790) and his second wife Julia (born 4 May 1820); they
were married on 26 June 1844.

Overall, 20% of Americans favor a very young age for women to marry (by age 21), while 12% favor an older age of 30 years or more before tying the knot. Only 11% of Americans say men should be married by age 21, while nearly one in three believe men should celebrate their 30 th birthday before their wedding. Gallup asked a similar question in 1946. The results of that survey show opinions have shifted significantly over time. Americans are much more likely now than they were 60 years ago to believe it is appropriate for men and women to wait until a later age to get married. In 1946, the median ideal age for women to marry was 21, compared to the median age of 25 today.

 Currently the average age at marriage in the US is 26.8 years for men, and 25.1 years for women. It is interesting that though this represents an increased age for men, it is not significantly higher than the rate 100 years ago. Actually age rates at marriage for men declined from 1910 through 1960. Lowest average age for marriage in men was in 1960, when the mean age for marriage was 22.8 years. Jane Austen, writing in the early 19th century, had heroines married at the earliest age of 17 or 18. There are negligible declines in average age at marriage from 1910-1960 in women. However the difference between the 1910 figures and figures in 1960 are less than two years. In men, the difference is a more significant four year spread. However by the 1970s both figures increased. The largest jump in a decade was women’s average age at marriage in 1980 and 1990.

only a few months, and their divorce was finalised on the day of Burr's
death, 14 September 1836. She lived on until 16 July 1865, dying at the

Ideal Age for Marriage: 25 for Women and 27 for Men
Average ideal age for both genders has increased in last 60 years
by Jeffrey M. Jones
GALLUP NEWS SERVICE
PRINCETON, NJ -- Gallup's annual poll on Values and Beliefs delved into the subject of marriage this year. An earlier analysis showed the vast majority of Americans have been married or plan to get married some day, most believe it is very important for committed couples to get married, but many feel it is less important for unwed couples to marry specifically because of having a child. New data being released from that poll finds that the average American believes that 25 is the ideal age for a woman to get married, while the ideal age for men is 27. Americans' views of the best age for marriage have shifted greatly in the past 60 years, more so for women than for men. Best Age for Marriage

 Age at first marriage
Over the last twenty years, the average age at which Australians first marry has increased. In 2010, the median age at first marriage for men was 29.6 years and 27.9 years for women, an increase of more than three years since 1990 (26.5 years and 24.3 years respectively). Since 2002, the median age at first marriage for both men and women has remained relatively unchanged. There are many factors that may affect the age at which Australians first marry. These include the pursuit of higher education, the associated delay in labour force participation, the increasing social acceptance of cohabitation before marriage, and children moving out of the family home later in adulthood due to these factors. In 2006-07, 49% of men and 45% of women aged 18-24 years had never left the parental home, mainly for financial reasons (41%) or the convenience and/or enjoyment of living at home (36%).

For example, in Mexico the mean age of marriage currently is 23.3 years for men and 18.4 years for women. This has increased as well, reflecting Mexico’s increasing industrialization. The average age for men at marriage has risen by two years since 1980, with women seeing an increase of three years.

A happily married couple celebrating their new relationship. Marriage is a legally recognized union between two partners in a relationship. The average age to first get married varies from one country to another and is affected by several factors such as financial stability, career, academic pursuit, and family background. The average age for first marriage for men is slightly higher than that of women in most of the countries around the world mainly because of societal expectations and perceptions. However, the average age for the first marriage has been on the rise for the past two decades because of the postponement of family formation and increase in the cohabitation incidences as opposed to formal marriages. Average Age At First Marriage: Trends in Europe
Marriages are earliest in Eastern European countries where the bride’s age ranges between 22 and 26 years while the groom’s age range between 24 and 27 years. In Moldova, most men marry at the age of 26 while women are married as low as 24 years. Women in most countries in Central Europe such as Czech Republic, Hungary, Germany, and Belgium marry after the age of 27 years while most of the men marry at the age of 30 years. Northern, Southern, and Western Europe have the highest average age at first marriage for both men and women.

However, the average age for the first marriage has been on the rise for the past two decades because of the postponement of family formation and increase in the cohabitation incidences as opposed to formal marriages.

Well-educated individuals spend more time dating a potential spouse.
THE BASICS
 Within the Lifestyle Poll sample, the average age at marriage was also significantly higher than the average age of marriage for the population at large. Specifically, the average age at marriage for women in the Lifestyle Poll sample was 27.17 and the average age for their husbands was 28.94. The average age of marriage across the United States for the same time period was 23.6 for women and 25.8 for men*, so the men and women in this sample were 3 to 3.5 years older on average at the time of marriage. I suppose the relatively high average age of marriage in the Lifestyle Poll sample would explain a curious personal experience that I once had that has never been repeated at other weddings I’ve attended. I was attending a close friend’s wedding at the Harvard Club of New York, an elegant “Harvard on Harvard” marriage. When the bride threw the bouquet, the cluster of single women immediately jumped away from it and the unclaimed bouquet landed on the floor. I believe it may have ricocheted off my hand, because someone handed me the bouquet (now that I think of it, I realize I was, in fact, the next to get married). This bouquet toss experience was illuminated when I reviewed responses to the open-ended question “At what age or stage of life do you feel is the optimal time to get married and why?” Here are some representative answers to this question: • I believe you should not get married before your late 20s at the very earliest.

How Marriages Have Changed Over The Last 100 Years How Marriages Have Changed Over The Last 100 Years
How Marriages Have Changed Over The Last 100 Years
The reason for marrying began to shift
The marriage rate and the Great Depression
The "golden age of marriage" wasn't really so golden

 Women, on average, were walking down the aisle at just 20 years old and men were between the ages of 22 and 23. If you can't remember a time when people married so young, this is because all of this changed when the 1980s came around. For the first time in over 90 years, women were getting married at the average age of 22. This number would continue to creep upward throughout each decade that spanned further and further into the twentieth century. And, by 2010, women had decided to wait until the average age of 26 to get married. Men averaged two years older at 28. These days, a 20-year-old bride or a 22-year-old groom would be quite the rarity. The "rise in cohabitation" versus marriage

Divorce rates have decreased since the 1980s, yet nearly 50 percent of all marriages still end in divorce. The boom of divorces pre-1980, as well as the less-than-favorable current odds, have scared some people away from the idea of marriage. Robert Emery, a psychology professor at the University of Virginia told the school's publication, "It makes young people today less secure in the idea of committing to and being in a lasting marriage.

On average, men and women get married five years later in life than their counterparts 20 years ago
The average age of brides in Northern Ireland has risen to 32 while the average for men getting married is now 34, according to new figures. The details were released by the Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency (NISRA). NISRA said both brides and grooms are now, on average, five years older than their counterparts two decades ago. The figures also revealed that one third of all NI weddings were civil ceremonies, an all-time high. 'Changes in society'
NISRA compiles annual statisics on marriage, divorce and civil partnership and its latest provisional figures show that there was a total of 8,400 marriages in Northern Ireland last year. Of that total, 2,700 were civil, or non-religious, ceremonies. Dr David Marshall from NISRA said: " The popularity of civil marriage continues to increase - 40 years ago one marriage in every 12 was by civil ceremony, today this stands at one marriage in every three. This reflects the changes in society over this period." There were also 89 same-sex civil partnerships in Northern Ireland in 2011, the lowest number recorded since 2008.

These numbers had dropped drastically by 2009, with only 7% of women under 20 married and 38% of woman married by age 24. The distribution of age changed for men, too. In 1970 the majority – 57%- of men were married by ages 20-24. The majority has now dropped to 34% among the older 25 to 29 year-olds.

Most unmarried Americans would like to be married. According to a Pew Study, 61 percent of respondents (both men and women) said they’d like to be married. But marriage rates in America are at an all-time low. The U.S. Census Bureau reports that only 51 percent of adults ages 18 and older were married in 2011. By contrast, in 1960, when the average age of marriage was at an all-time high, 72 percent of all adults had tied the know. A 2013 study found that the average age of marriage for women was 27 and 29 for men. But in individual states, the data varies considerably. For example, Utah has both the lowest average marriage age for women and men at 23.8 and 25.9, respectively.

Curious as to what age people tie the knot in different countries around the world? This informative map, produced by Pricenomics, should offer a pretty good answer: The map, which uses data provided by the United Nations, shows the average age -- by country -- at which people get hitched. "The biggest differentiator of marriage age seems to be a country's income, with people in developed countries marrying later," writes the price comparison website of the data. " Nordic countries and Western Europe rank among the highest for mean age at marriage at above 30 years. Afghanistan has one of the lowest at 20.2 years." In the United States, the average marrying age for women is 26.9 and for men it's 29.8, per a 2011 report by the Pew Research Center. However, though people seem to be waiting later to get hitched in many countries around the globe, marriage still seems to be a popular life choice in most places. "In all but a dozen or so countries, 80 percent of men and women have been married by age 49, and even more people commit to comparable or similar 'consensual unions,'" Priceonomics writes.

 People growing up in rural communities will probably get married for the first time in their early 20s. In developed countries, the average marriage age has also been pushed back because many couples now choose to live together for years before even considering marriage. In the 1950s, when sharing a home before marriage wasn't the standard, people got married younger. The average marriage age in India is 17. In countries such as India and Pakistan, where it is tradition that parents arrange weddings, the average age at marriage is 17, with many brides getting married as soon as they turn 15. This is the case also in many African countries, where economic factors force parents to marry off their daughters at an early age. Nigeria has some of the lowest averages in Africa, with most men getting married around 23 and most women at 17. In the US, the average marriage age is younger in rural areas than it is in big cities. The average age peaks higher in Scandinavian countries such as Denmark, where the number is 30.2 for women and 32.5 for men. Sweden, Finland, and Norway are closely behind.

Sweden has the highest average age at first marriage (34.6) with women marrying at 33.3 years and men at 35 years followed by Nordic countries (Iceland, Denmark, and Norway) and Spain. In most of the Nordic countries, about 30% of the women and fewer than 20% of the women aged between 25 and 29 are married. Factors Influencing Age At First Marriage
From the data, most of the wealthiest countries in Europe appear to have a higher average age at first marriage than their less developed counterparts. Most men and women postpone marriage in countries where they enjoy the higher social status, better education system, and employment. Most of the young men and women in Nordic countries and other developed countries postpone marriage in pursuit of education and career in their youthful age and only marry at the later years of their lives. Many women across Europe prefer to live independently before they can commit to a marriage further delaying the age at first marriage. Cohabiting for a long duration is also a contributing factor to delayed marriages where couples feel no need of committing to marriage as long as they are comfortable together. On the other hand religion and the society play an important role in the early marriage in some of the countries in Europe. In these countries, delayed marriage may be considered a curse while peer pressure is also a contributing factor to early marriages.

Researchers Buunk and colleagues studied heterosexual men aged 60. In their findings, the men clearly wanted to marry or have serious relationships with women about age 45, but for more casual encounters, they preferred ages 25-30. For the maximum age for a spouse, men over 40 overwhelming prefer someone below 40. In fact, the research shows that only for men up to age 30 does the so-called rule of 7 for marrying someone older really apply. For women, they tend to follow the rule of 7, but once they hit age 36 the top age of men they are willing to consider jumps up considerably. Unlike men, who up until age 60 had the same preferences for marriage, relationships, and casual encounters, when women hit 40, there is a bigger gap between a man’s age for marriage vs a casual encounter. What is the average age for a woman to get married? On average, women tend to marry most at age 27.4, slightly below the average age for men. That number is up by about 4 from 25 years ago and up 6 years from 35 years ago.

 An unmarried Tuscan woman 21 years of age would be seen as past marriageable age, the benchmark for which was 19 years, and easily 97 percent of Florentine women were married by the age of 25 years while 21 years was the average age of a contemporary English bride. While the average age at first marriage had climbed to 25 years for women and 27 years for men in England and the Low Countries by the end of the 16th century, and the percentage of unmarried Englishwomen rose from less than 10% to nearly 20% by the mid-17th century and their average age at first marriage rose to 26 years at the same time, there was nonetheless great variation within Britain alone; while Lowland Scotland saw patterns similar to England, with women married in the middle twenties after a period of domestic service, the high birth rate of Highland Scotland and the Hebrides imply a lower age of marriage for the bride, possibly similar to Gaelic Ireland, where Brehon Law stated that women became legally marriageable at 15 years and men at 18 years. Similarly, between 1620 and 1690 the average age of first marriage for Swedish women was roughly 20 years, approximately 70% of Swedish women aged between 15 and 50 years were married at any one time, and the proportion of single women was less than 10%, but by the end of the 18th century it had risen to roughly 27 years and remained high with the celibacy rate as a result of falling infant mortality rates, declining famines, decreasing available land and resources for a growing population, and other factors. Similarly, Ireland's age of marriage in 1830 was 23.8 for women and 27.47 for men where they had once been 21 and 25, respectively, and only about 10% of adults remained unmarried; in 1840, they had respectively risen to 24.4 and 27.7; in the decades after the Great Famine, the age of marriage had risen to 28–29 for women and 33 for men and as much as a third of Irishmen and a fourth of Irishwomen never married due to chronic economic problems that discouraged early marriage. Background
Antiquity
The beginnings of this marriage pattern might be found as early as the time of the Roman Empire. Julius Caesar, writing in the first century B.C, wrote that while the Germanic tribes to the north of the empire were communal with their land, living under the Sippe kinship system, the homesteads were largely separate from each other, unlike the closer proximity in Roman towns. And Tacitus, writing a century and a half later, also observed these many private households among the Germanic tribes, although there was public ownership of pastures and controlled use of the forests.

 The LA Times reported on a study showing that the divorce rate among Mormons who marry in a temple is only 6%. That is remarkable, considering that the divorce rate among most other Christian religions mirrors the 52% divorce rate among non-Christians. While this study shows strong support for the success of Mormon temple weddings in general, it does not specifically show the impact age has on the numbers. The national average age at which all people (not just Mormons) marry is 26.1 for women and 28.2 for men ( Source ). Yet, the average age for marriage among Mormons is much younger. The Deseret news reports “While no known published studies have been done about the age of first marriage in the LDS faith, both local LDS leaders and singles say more and more young Latter-day Saints are getting married at an older age. The average age of first marriage for LDS Church members is approximately 23, said Jason Carroll, assistant professor of marriage, family and human development at Brigham Young University” ( Source ). Combining those statistics, we see that the average age for marriage in America is 27, while the average age for Mormons is approximately 23–four years younger. Why Do Mormon Marriages End up in Divorce Less Frequently? The question remains, why do Mormon marriages statistically end up in divorce at a far lower rate than marriages in general?

Between 1800 and 1900, women generally married for the first time between the ages of 20 and 22. Less is known about the average age of first marriages for men during the 19th century. In 1890, when the U.S. Census Bureau started collecting marriage data, it was recorded that the average age of a first marriage for men was 26 years, and the average age of marriage for women was 22 years. Marriage in the Colonies
The average age of a women who married for the first time rose steadily, although not sharply, from 1800 to 1900. North American colonists tended to get married early due to several factors. The first, and perhaps most important, was simply that they could. Many took the advice of the Bible -- to leave home and create your own family -- to heart, and they had the resources to do it. Land was inexpensive, and there was plenty of it to choose from -- it was simple to set up shop. According to a 2010 article in the "Journal of Southern History" titled "The Effect of the Civil War on Southern Marriage Patterns," early colonists married at an average age of around 20 if they were women, and around 26 if they were men. The Civil War
With the end of the Civil War in 1865 came a "marriage squeeze" for women, especially in the South.

 Ireland has the world’s oldest brides with a median age of 32.4 years. (Statista)
Interestingly, according to recent marriage statistics by age, women in Ireland rarely marry in their early 20s — the median age of an Irish bride is 32.4. Moreover, Ireland is a country with the most negligible age gap between women and men; on average, men are only one year older than their spouses. This still reflects the global tendency of men being mostly at least a bit older than the women they marry. 11. The average length of marriage statistics (2016) reveal that 44% of divorces in South Africa were of marriages that lasted for less than 10 years. (Stats SA)
In South Africa, the percentage of marriages whose “happily ever after” lasted less than 10 years was significantly higher than in other parts of the world.

Generally, over the course of a 13-year period (2003–2016), the divorce rate of black Africans increased, whereas the white population’s divorce rate saw a decline.

 Couples also had an average of two serious relationships prior to their marriage, and 91 percent of couples reported that they got married to demonstrate commitment. That's compared with a total of six percent who said it was due to convenience, money, or social pressure. Additionally, Bridebook.co.uk's study also looked at how the marriage ages of men and women compared to the ages of men and women who got married in the previous generation. Single men get married at an average age of 32.7 years old now, versus 24.6 years in 1971. Women get married at an average age 30.8 years old now, versus 22.6 years 45 years ago. Hamish Shephard, Bridebook.co.uk's founder, said he believed the survey's findings show a dramatic generational shift in how people view marriage. " It is fantastic to see how the marriage is evolving with today’s modern couples for the positive," he said in a statement. " Whilst living together before getting married, having serious relationships out of wedlock, or getting married when you are older were previously frowned upon, for the modern couple these can clearly be very positive steps to finding 'the one' and having a fantastic long-lasting marriage." While the survey looked at British couples, research suggests similar trends in couples' relationship approaches on the other side of the pond. According to the Pew Research Center, in the U.S. 1960, brides' median age was 20.3 years old and grooms' median age was 22.8 years old.

 There were 21,000 fewer marriages in 2014 than there were in 2000. At the same time, there has been an increase in the age at which people marry. In 1973, for example, the average age at marriage for men was 28.8 years and 26.1 for women. By 2013, however, the average age was 36.7 for men and 34.3 for women. Read our Guide to getting married in the UK
Other than changing attitudes towards marriage, one reason for people marrying later in life is down to limited finances. With the average cost of a UK wedding peaking at a hefty £32,000 in 2018, many couples are choosing to invest in buying a home instead. In fact, statistics show that the number of first-time buyers is on the rise. Indeed, there were 353,000 first-time buyers in 2019, a total of 159,000 more than in 2009. This suggests that many couples in the UK consider getting on the property ladder a bigger priority than tying the knot. And given that the average deposit for a house was £32,800 in 2018 – almost exactly the same as a wedding – this seems like a logical conclusion.

 The first, and perhaps most important, was simply that they could. Many took the advice of the Bible -- to leave home and create your own family -- to heart, and they had the resources to do it. Land was inexpensive, and there was plenty of it to choose from -- it was simple to set up shop. According to a 2010 article in the "Journal of Southern History" titled "The Effect of the Civil War on Southern Marriage Patterns," early colonists married at an average age of around 20 if they were women, and around 26 if they were men. The Civil War
With the end of the Civil War in 1865 came a "marriage squeeze" for women, especially in the South. About 620,000 men died in the war, which meant that pickings were slim. Many women married older widowers, or married someone not entirely appropriate -- perhaps above or below their socioeconomic status. This pattern did not last very long, however -- about 10 years -- and it did not significantly affect their average age of marriage, which hovered right around 21. For men, it did not significantly change either as many young men rushed to marriage at the start of the war. After the War
A second rush to marry occurred after the war, but again, the women marrying for the first time were young -- around 21 years of age -- and the men remained right around the age of 26.

Study Suggests Young People Are Delaying Marriage Because Of Rising College Debt
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau announced last week that student loan debts have surpassed the $1 trillion mark, leaving the majority of 2010 graduates with the challenge of paying off an average of $25,000 in loans. Now, a new report suggests that rising college debt is setting back college graduates in their personal lives as well, with more students choosing to delay getting married and having children. The report by economic forecasting firm IHS Global Insight, which was obtained by Bloomberg Businessweek ahead of its publication, does not explicitly say that students are delaying marriage because they have more loans to pay off. Download
But it does point out that in the time students’ college loans have risen sharply — the top one percent of borrowers now owe more than $150,000 — the average age of first marriages has risen by about a year, Bloomberg Businessweek reports. For men, the average age at first marriage is 28.7, while the average woman is getting married for the first time at age 26.5. In 2007, the average age at first marriage was 27.5 years for men and 25.6 years for women, according to the report. During the same time frame, fertility rates — expressed as the number of live births per 1,000 women age 18-44 — decreased from 69.3 to below 65. Chris Christopher, a senior economist at IHS Global Insight, explained that the rising age of first marriages may be related to the way debt is distributed across age groups. “Student loans are concentrated among young people—a particular group that may be prone to buy a new house, a new car, and get married,” Christopher told Bloomberg Businessweek. “ They are not spread out among all age cohorts in the economy.”

The history of divorce
 Many people see cohabitation as a precursor to marriage, and a means of testing their relationship before committing to marriage. The number of couples living together has increased from 16% of couples in 1976 to 80.8% in 2016. Average marriage age in Australia
The average lifespan in Australia has increased from 70.2 years in 1960 to 82.5 years in 2016. As a result, the average marriage age for Australian women has also increased from 21 years in 1976 to 30.1 years in 2017, while the average marriage age for Australian men has increased from 23 years in 1976 to 32 years in 2017 [1]. Evidently, people are taking longer to get married and have children. People might also feel less pressure to get married quickly and are spending more time selecting the right partner for marriage. Male marriage statistics (per 1000 residents)
Female marriage statistics (per 1000 residents)
For both men and women, the most common marriage age was 25-29 in 2006 and 2016. Notably, the number of men and women who got married aged 20-24 decreased significantly from 2006 to 2016, demonstrating that people now prefer to get married later in life. This trend was also evident in the 25-29 age bracket. The only marriage rate that increased over this ten year period was for women aged 40-44.

Marriage Statistics in Japan: Average Age of Couples Continues to Rise | Nippon.com
 The number of marriages began to decline in Japan after reaching a peak of 1.1 million in 1972. Although there was a temporary upturn in the 1990s, the number again began to trend downward in the new millennium. In 2019, marriages increased year on year for the first time in seven years, apparently as a result of the start of the Reiwa era, which many couples saw as an auspicious time to wed. The peak age for women marrying for the first time remained 25, as it was 20 years ago, but the relative proportion of women getting married in their early twenties has fallen, revealing a trend toward getting married later in life.

If one looks at US statistics over the past 100 years for example, one sees that men had an average age at marriage of 25.9 years in 1900. Women in 1900 had an average age at marriage of 22 years. For some this shatters an illusion that women 100 years ago were sold into marriage as young children. Even Jane Austen, writing in the early 19th century had heroines married at the earliest age of 17 or 18. In Laura Ingalls Wilder’s books, which are semi-autobiographical, her father would not allow her to marry until she was 18. Thus it can be said that the average woman was past 21 when entering her first marriage, 100 years ago. Is Amazon actually giving you the best price?

Key Factors That Impact Your Odds of Marital Success
Well-educated individuals spend more time dating a potential spouse.
THE BASICS
 They do not leave their futures—including their marriages—up to chance, but instead proceed through life in a very intentional manner. Many have delayed receiving their relatively high incomes for several years to pursue graduate degrees. Similarly, the married respondents in my well-educated sample ( The Lifestyle Poll) indicated that they spent an average of 3.6 years dating their husbands before committing to marriage. This is much longer than the 2 year relationship “trial period” suggested by some theorists. These quite happily married women knew what they were looking for and spent considerable time building their relationships before making the decision to partner for life with their husbands. Within the Lifestyle Poll sample, the average age at marriage was also significantly higher than the average age of marriage for the population at large. Specifically, the average age at marriage for women in the Lifestyle Poll sample was 27.17 and the average age for their husbands was 28.94. The average age of marriage across the United States for the same time period was 23.6 for women and 25.8 for men*, so the men and women in this sample were 3 to 3.5 years older on average at the time of marriage. I suppose the relatively high average age of marriage in the Lifestyle Poll sample would explain a curious personal experience that I once had that has never been repeated at other weddings I’ve attended. I was attending a close friend’s wedding at the Harvard Club of New York, an elegant “Harvard on Harvard” marriage.

The average age of marriage across the United States for the same time period was 23.6 for women and 25.8 for men*, so the men and women in this sample were 3 to 3.5 years older on average at the time of marriage. I suppose the relatively high average age of marriage in the Lifestyle Poll sample would explain a curious personal experience that I once had that has never been repeated at other weddings I’ve attended. I was attending a close friend’s wedding at the Harvard Club of New York, an elegant “Harvard on Harvard” marriage.

 Men get married at 35.3 years while women get married at 32.6 years. Chile is the only country in South America that seems to defy the continental trend of getting marriage below the age of 30. The trend in Chile is attributed to the national culture where people have adopted the idea of getting married between the age of 33 and 35. It is also a culture that people have to date for about 3 to 5 years before getting married. Iceland
The age of marriage in Iceland is 33.7 years, 34.6 for men and 33.7 for women. Iceland is a Scandinavian country just like Sweden, and partners prefer partnership rather than marriage. The population factor also contributes to the older age of marriage considering that the country’s population is about 350,000. More people are getting married to immigrants or leaving the country altogether to get married abroad. Spain
The average age of marriage in Spain is 33.4 years: 34.5 for men and 32.3 for women.

Where in the mid-1500s in England, approximately 8 percent of women remained unmarried the inference would be that that figure was either the same or lower in the previous several centuries; marriage in Medieval England appears to be a robust institution where over 90% of women married and roughly 70% of women aged 15 to 50 years were married at any given time while the other 30% were single or widows. In Yorkshire in the 14th and 15th centuries, the age range for most brides was between 18 and 22 years and the age of the grooms was similar; rural Yorkshire women tended to marry in their late teens to early twenties while their urban counterparts married in their early to middle twenties. In the 15th century, the average Italian bride was 18 and married a groom 10–12 years her senior. An unmarried Tuscan woman 21 years of age would be seen as past marriageable age, the benchmark for which was 19 years, and easily 97 percent of Florentine women were married by the age of 25 years while 21 years was the average age of a contemporary English bride. While the average age at first marriage had climbed to 25 years for women and 27 years for men in England and the Low Countries by the end of the 16th century, and the percentage of unmarried Englishwomen rose from less than 10% to nearly 20% by the mid-17th century and their average age at first marriage rose to 26 years at the same time, there was nonetheless great variation within Britain alone; while Lowland Scotland saw patterns similar to England, with women married in the middle twenties after a period of domestic service, the high birth rate of Highland Scotland and the Hebrides imply a lower age of marriage for the bride, possibly similar to Gaelic Ireland, where Brehon Law stated that women became legally marriageable at 15 years and men at 18 years. Similarly, between 1620 and 1690 the average age of first marriage for Swedish women was roughly 20 years, approximately 70% of Swedish women aged between 15 and 50 years were married at any one time, and the proportion of single women was less than 10%, but by the end of the 18th century it had risen to roughly 27 years and remained high with the celibacy rate as a result of falling infant mortality rates, declining famines, decreasing available land and resources for a growing population, and other factors. Similarly, Ireland's age of marriage in 1830 was 23.8 for women and 27.47 for men where they had once been 21 and 25, respectively, and only about 10% of adults remained unmarried;

 Less people are getting married to start with
More couples are cohabiting before marriage
The average marriage age has increased
Less married couples
In 1970, the crude marriage rate in Australia was 9.6 marriages per 1,000 residents. In 2017, the crude marriage rate has dropped to 4.6 marriages per 1000 residents [1]. These days, there is less social stigma around single parenting and couples cohabiting outside of marriage. This means there is less pressure from families and society for forced or rushed marriages between potentially incompatible couples who have a higher risk of divorcing. Cohabitation before marriage
More couples are now living together before committing to marriage and are living together for longer periods of time. Many people see cohabitation as a precursor to marriage, and a means of testing their relationship before committing to marriage. The number of couples living together has increased from 16% of couples in 1976 to 80.8% in 2016. Average marriage age in Australia
The average lifespan in Australia has increased from 70.2 years in 1960 to 82.5 years in 2016. As a result, the average marriage age for Australian women has also increased from 21 years in 1976 to 30.1 years in 2017, while the average marriage age for Australian men has increased from 23 years in 1976 to 32 years in 2017 [1]. Evidently, people are taking longer to get married and have children.

 People might also feel less pressure to get married quickly and are spending more time selecting the right partner for marriage. Male marriage statistics (per 1000 residents)
Female marriage statistics (per 1000 residents)
For both men and women, the most common marriage age was 25-29 in 2006 and 2016. Notably, the number of men and women who got married aged 20-24 decreased significantly from 2006 to 2016, demonstrating that people now prefer to get married later in life. This trend was also evident in the 25-29 age bracket. The only marriage rate that increased over this ten year period was for women aged 40-44. All other marriage rates decreased between 2006 and 2016. Male divorce statistics (per 1000 residents)

In many Western countries, people tend to marry in their 20s. The average age at marriage has risen in most industrial countries. Even countries with less development, or who have come lately to industrialization show a rise in the average age at marriage for women. These statistics may reflect a greater feminist stance in most countries, with more women working and completing college. As well they reflect a trend away from marriage in the US. Fully one-half of the US population is now unmarried. The average age of marriage has increased over time. If one looks at US statistics over the past 100 years for example, one sees that men had an average age at marriage of 25.9 years in 1900. Women in 1900 had an average age at marriage of 22 years.

Child marriage is still widespread in India despite laws raising the minimum age to 18 for women and 21 for men
(AFP/Getty Images)
On Friday, the Spanish government announced it was to raise the marriage age from 14 to 16 to bring it into line with the rest of Europe. Estonia now has the lowest marriage age in Europe with teenagers able to get hitched at 15 with parental approval. Globally, the average legal age of marriage for boys is 17 and 16 for girls but many countries permit them, particularly girls, to marry much younger. Several places, including the state of Massachusetts in the United States, allow girls as young as 12 to get married in "exceptional circumstances" with the consent of a judge. But in many cases this is a leftover from an earlier age and is rarely tested. Many countries with low marriage ages do not have a particularly high number of under 18s getting married. Other countries only permit marriage among the young for certain groups. For instance, according to the US state department's humans right report on Trindad & Tobago from 2014, though the official marital age is 18 for men and women, Muslims and Hindus have a separate Marriage Act.

 The decision to get married is affected by several factors such as family background, career, financial stability, and academic pursuit. The following are countries with the oldest average marrying age. Countries With the Oldest Average Marrying Age
Sweden
The average marrying age in Sweden is 34.8 years. Men in the country marry at an average of 36 whereas women get married at an average of 33.5 years. In Sweden, more couples choose partnership over marriage because they feel comfortable being partners rather than being married. The idea of a partnership over marriage is not isolated to Sweden; it is a practice common in many of the Scandinavian countries. For those who decided to get married, education and career are given priority rather than starting a family. The Swedes also tend to prefer achieving personal dreams before settling down in a marriage. Chile

Notes
 Marriage patterns differed markedly by age at marriage and by educational attainment. College-educated men and women married at older ages compared with their counterparts who had fewer years of schooling. About equal proportions of men and women who received a college degree married by age 46, 88 percent for men and 90 percent for women. Men and women who did not complete high school were less likely to marry than were men and women with more education. Men who earned a bachelor’s degree were more likely to marry than men with less education. The chance of a marriage ending in divorce was lower for people with more education, with over half of marriages of those who did not complete high school having ended in divorce compared with approximately 30 percent of marriages of college graduates. In their 2007 study, Betsey Stevenson and Justin Wolfers used data from the 2001 Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP) to examine marriage and divorce patterns up to age 45 for cohorts born in 1940–1945 and 1950–1955. 3 A comparison of the two cohorts shows that the likelihood of marriage declined, the average age at first marriage increased by 1 year, and married couples were more likely to divorce in the latter cohort. Stevenson and Wolfers found stark differences in marriage patterns between racial groups and between education groups for the 1950–1955 birth cohort: Blacks married later and at lower rates compared with Whites.

The age of marriage
From the Roxburghe Ballads. University of Victoria Library. One common belief about the Renaissance is that children,  especially girls, married young. In some noble houses  marriages were indeed contracted at a young age, for reasons  of property and family alliance, but in fact the average age  of marriage was quite old--in the middle twenties. Marriage statistics indicate that the mean marriage age for  the Elizabethan and Jacobean eras was higher than many people  realize. Data taken from birthdates of women and marriage  certificates reveals mean marriage ages to have been as  follows: 1566-1619
27.0 years
1647-1719
29.6 years
1719-1779
26.8 years
1770-1837
25.1 years
The marriage age of men was probably the same or a bit older  than that of women. ( In 1619, it was about 23 for women, 26  for men.)

 In addition, women tend to marry older men, although this gap has been narrowing. In 1998 median ages at first marriage were 26.7 years for men and 25.0 for women, for an average difference of 1.7 years. But fifty years ago, at a time when many of today ’ s widowed persons were marrying, median ages at marriage were much lower and the sex difference was greater. In 1950 men married at an average (median) age of 22.8, and women at 20.3, reflecting an average difference of 2.5 years. Because women live longer and marry older men, their odds of being widowed are much greater than men ’ s.
The sex difference in the probability of widowhood is the primary factor driving the difference in the number of older men and women who are unmarried. In 1998 there were 3,363,000 unmarried men age sixty-five and older; at the same time there were 10,581,000 unmarried older women (U.S. Bureau of the Census web site). This greatly influences the probability of remarriage for widowed persons. While rates of remarriage are much lower among the widowed than the divorced, remarriage rates are much higher among older widowers (about 14 per 1000 per year) than widows (approximately 2 per 1000 per year) (U.S. Bureau of the Census, 1996). Remarriage rates are lower for women in large part because there are so few available men in the appropriate age ranges.

What constitutes a legal marriage? Like in the U.S., legal marriage in Japan consists of a civil registration through a municipal government office. The marriage must be between men 18 years of age or older and women 16 years of age or older. Marriage in a religious ceremony is just that, a ceremony that is non-legally binding. Therefore, the couple must go through the civil registration to legally recognize the marriage. Average Marrying Age
The average age that people get married in Japan has increased over the last sixty years. Men typically marry at age 30 and women at 28, mostly due to an increased number of young people working. Many people also opt not to marry at all for various reasons. Women are able to secure higher paying jobs that allow them to support themselves without the support of a husband and thus do not need to rely on a man for financial support. One income is no longer feasible for those who wish to have a family.

 As author Beth Bailey notes in her book From Front Porch to Back Seat,
“…the average age at marriage plummeted. In 1890, the average age at marriage had been 26.1 for men, 22 for women; by 1951 men were marrying at an average age of 22.6, women at 20.4.” Couples often married before finishing college. As we’ll soon discuss, practices such as pinning signified a commitment to get married. Whereas people felt pressure to date as many people as possible in the 1930s, people felt pressure to settle down and marry in the ’50s. Marrying young was like getting to a sale on the first day,” author Mary Cantwell wrote. “ God knows what, if anything, would be left if you waited until you were twenty-five or -six.” While we live in the Information Age, couples in the 1950s didn’t have many resources to help marriages succeed. The growth of American psychology came about in this era.

 42.0 percent of men 85 and over, and 77.4 percent of women in that age category, were widowed as of 1998 (U.S. Bureau of the Census web site). Women are more likely than men to be widowed for two reasons. First, women live longer than men. As of 1997, life expectancies at birth were 73.6 years for men and 79.4 years for women. At age 65, men could expect another 15.9 years of life on the average, while women lived an average of 19.2 more years (Anderson, 1999).

A lot has changed regarding marriage in the last few decades. Historically, marriage was seen as a partnership and it was mandatory to get married, but now it’s very different. People tend to marry only the one they think it’s their soulmate and marriage itself is very optional. Moreover, the age of people get married has changed. The average age of marriage was 20.3 for women and 22.8 for men in the 1950s, while today it’s 27.1 for women and 29.2 for men. Modern couples are rewriting the rulebook and decide to wait until later in their lives to get married. Nowadays, couples tend to spend more time in a relationship before deciding to tie the knot. So, you might be asking yourself what’s the average time dating before marriage today? According to datingsiteresource.com it has been estimated that couples spend 4.9 years (58.7 months) in a relationship on average before getting married. This means that they get to know each other better before tying the knot.

 There are negligible declines in average age at marriage from 1910-1960 in women. However the difference between the 1910 figures and figures in 1960 are less than two years. In men, the difference is a more significant four year spread. However by the 1970s both figures increased. The largest jump in a decade was women’s average age at marriage in 1980 and 1990. In ten years the age rate jumped from 22 years to 23.9. Many people in their 40s and 50s remarry after divorce. In fact in the last 20 years, both men and women show a considerable increase in age at marriage. Men are now on average two years older when they marry than the mean age of marriage for men in 1980. Women are three years older on average now, than the mean marriage age in the 1980.

 How Younger Marriages Influenced Dating in the 1950s
How Younger Marriages Influenced Dating in the 1950s
By Kris Wolfe on September 19, 2016 in Dating, History
The 1950s was a decade of commitment and love. Perhaps WWII made people cherish their loved ones even more, but people found security in relationships after a time of uncertainty. As we continue the history of dating series, we’ll discuss how younger marriages influenced dating in the 1950s and how baby-making defined this era. Younger Marriages
Towards the late 1940s, marriage rates, most notably in America, reached peak levels. People started getting married younger. As author Beth Bailey notes in her book From Front Porch to Back Seat,
“…the average age at marriage plummeted. In 1890, the average age at marriage had been 26.1 for men, 22 for women; by 1951 men were marrying at an average age of 22.6, women at 20.4.” Couples often married before finishing college. As we’ll soon discuss, practices such as pinning signified a commitment to get married.

The Nations Of Europe By The Average Age At First Marriage
 Most of the young men and women in Nordic countries and other developed countries postpone marriage in pursuit of education and career in their youthful age and only marry at the later years of their lives. Many women across Europe prefer to live independently before they can commit to a marriage further delaying the age at first marriage. Cohabiting for a long duration is also a contributing factor to delayed marriages where couples feel no need of committing to marriage as long as they are comfortable together. On the other hand religion and the society play an important role in the early marriage in some of the countries in Europe. In these countries, delayed marriage may be considered a curse while peer pressure is also a contributing factor to early marriages. Effects Of The Average Age At First Marriage
Countries with higher mean age at first marriage are characterized by small families of an average of 2 children. On the other hand, people who marry early will likely have large families of an average of four children. Late marriages in Europe are likely to cause a generational gap in future if the trend continues as is the case currently. The Nations Of Europe By The Average Age At First Marriage

Using the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979 (NLSY79)—a survey of people born during the 1957–1964 period—this study examines the marriage and divorce patterns for a cohort of young baby boomers up to age 46. In particular, the study focuses on differences in marriage and divorce patterns by educational attainment and by age at marriage. This work is descriptive and does not attempt to explain causation or why marriage patterns differ across groups. About 85 percent of the NLSY79 cohort married by age 46, and among those who married, a sizeable fraction, almost 30 percent, married more than once. The bulk of marriages occurred by age 28, with relatively few marriages taking place at age 35 or older. Approximately 42 percent of marriages that took place between ages 15 and 46 ended in divorce by age 46. In the NLSY79, women in this cohort were more likely to marry and to remarry than were men. In addition, marriages of women were more likely to end in divorce, as were marriages that began at younger ages. On average, women married at younger ages than men. Marriage patterns differed markedly by age at marriage and by educational attainment.

 Of those men who were born in 1940, about 83% were married by age 30. Among those born in 1980 only about 25% were married by age 30. The trend is stark. English men in more recent cohorts are much less likely to have married, and that’s true at all ages. There are two causes for this: an increasing share of people in younger cohorts are not getting married; and younger cohorts are increasingly choosing to marry later in life.

Here’s Exactly How Long the Average Couple Dates Before Getting Engaged
More on sex and relationships:
 A new survey is shedding light on relationships milestones and how modern couples view marriage. Wedding planning app Bridebook.co.uk recently released a survey looking at the relationship timelines of 4,000 people in recently married couples in the United Kingdom to find out how long they spent at each "stage" of a relationship, as well as why they decided to get married in the first place. ( The survey was focused on opposite-sex couples.) Join Now
As for how long it takes couples to reach certain relationship milestones, Bridebook.co.uk found that on average, couples were together for 4.9 years from the start of their relationship until they got married. They dated for roughly 17 months before moving in together, lived together for 22 months before their engagement, and tied the knot roughly 20 months after getting engaged. Couples also had an average of two serious relationships prior to their marriage, and 91 percent of couples reported that they got married to demonstrate commitment. That's compared with a total of six percent who said it was due to convenience, money, or social pressure. Additionally, Bridebook.co.uk's study also looked at how the marriage ages of men and women compared to the ages of men and women who got married in the previous generation. Single men get married at an average age of 32.7 years old now, versus 24.6 years in 1971. Women get married at an average age 30.8 years old now, versus 22.6 years 45 years ago.

Puritan Women's Rights | History of American Women Puritan Women’s Rights
Puritan Women’s Rights Women were viewed as instruments of Satan. Children were regarded as the property of their parents. If any child was disobedient to his parents, any magistrate could punish him with a maximum of ten lashes for each offense. Love and Marriage
In Puritan society, the average age for marriage was higher than in any other group of immigrants — the average for men was 26, and for women age 23. There was a strong imperative to marry — those who did not were ostracized. The gender ratio was about 150 men to every 100 women. Puritan women married for love — there were no arranged marriages. Courtship practices were strict, and weddings were simple affairs. First cousin marriages were forbidden and second cousin marriages were discouraged. Banns had to be published before a marriage could take place.

 Most people who had ever divorced are currently married
– In 1996, 20 percent of men and 22 percent of women age 15 and over had ever been divorced. – Less than half were still divorced (8 percent of men and 10 percent of women). – The percent ever divorced was highest among men 40 to 59 years old (35 percent) and among women 40 to 49 years old (37 percent). Widowed statistics
The percent of adults in 1996 who had ever been widowed was higher for women than for men (12 versus
4 percent), reflecting the higher mortality rates for men. Most women age 70 and over in 1996 had been widowed (58 percent), compared with only 25 percent of men age 70 and over. Most people in this age group who had experienced widowhood were currently widowed (19 percent of men
and 55 percent of women). Differences in spousal ages
Women are 2.5 years younger than their husbands, on average. For first marriages, an increased percentage of women are the same age or older than the men they marry. About 38 percent of women in their first marriage, who married between 1945 and 1964, were the same age or older than their husbands, compared with 48 percent of currently married women in their first marriage who married between 1970 and 1989. Spouses in their second marriages are about twice as likely to have at least a 5-year age gap as people in their first marriage, 40 percent and less than 20 percent
respectively.

In many countries, declining marriage rates have been accompanied by an increase in the age at which people are getting married. This is shown in the chart here, where we plot the average age of women at first marriage. 3
The increase in the age at which people are getting married is stronger in richer countries, particularly in North America and Europe. In Sweden, for example, the average age of marriage for women went up from 28 in 1990 to 34 years in 2017. In Bangladesh and several countries in sub-Saharan Africa, the average age at marriage is low and has remained unchanged for several years. In Niger, where child marriage is common, the average age at marriage for women has remained constant, at 17 years, since the early 1990s. ( NB.

 Most people in this age group who had experienced widowhood were currently widowed (19 percent of men
and 55 percent of women). Differences in spousal ages
Women are 2.5 years younger than their husbands, on average. For first marriages, an increased percentage of women are the same age or older than the men they marry. About 38 percent of women in their first marriage, who married between 1945 and 1964, were the same age or older than their husbands, compared with 48 percent of currently married women in their first marriage who married between 1970 and 1989. Spouses in their second marriages are about twice as likely to have at least a 5-year age gap as people in their first marriage, 40 percent and less than 20 percent
respectively. Duration of marriage and separation
First marriages which end in divorce last 7 to 8 years, on
average. The median number of years a first marriage lasted
which ended in divorce was about 8
years for men and women overall. The median time from marriage to separation was shorter, at about 6.6 years with about 1 year between
separation and divorce. Half of those who remarry after a divorce from a first
marriage do so within about 3 years. Half of the men and women who remarried after divorcing
from their first marriage did so in about 3 years.

 Ideal age difference in marriage in the modern world
So, fast forward to the 21st century to a survey conducted in the US. A survey of 2000 random couples throws up 4 years and 4 months as the optimal age gap for marriage with the girl being younger than the boy. In another survey, couples rated blind dates (in the western world dating is a necessary condition for marriage) as per the rules set forth by a couple of newspapers. The newspapers’ rules were very simple, the couples were matched based on responses to an online questionnaire and they agreed to provide both a narrative and quantitative rating in exchange for a free meal at a restaurant. The surprising conclusion from the study is, while age seems paramount in the abstract (all things being equal, men desire younger women, and women desire older men), in practice, when two people actually go on a date or get married, the age difference might not have as much importance as other considerations, such as physical attraction and a compatible personality. This conclusion poses an interesting question. Should we just conclude that age difference doesn’t really matter when people fall in love? One way to understand the age difference in marriage for a population is to plot a distribution curve called bell curve. In the distribution, average marriage age difference [i.e., the mean] would be plotted in the middle of the curve, where the ‘bell’ shape is the tallest. Most of the couples [i.e., 68% of them, or 34% + 34%] have age difference for marriage around the average.

Correlations in Marriage Patterns
 A similar measure — number of divorces within the previous 12 months per 1,000 women — tends to be high in states where women marry young, such as Oklahoma and Idaho. But the same link is not as strong for men: Alaska and Wyoming, for example, are among the top states for recently divorced men, but they are not states where men marry especially young. Correlations in Marriage Patterns
Some state-level patterns of marriage and divorce correlate 3 with the overall socioeconomic characteristics and political behavior in those states. This does not mean that one pattern causes the other to happen, only that both tend to be true in the same place. A state’s education levels, for example, tend to be associated with the median age at marriage and the multiple-marriage patterns of its residents. In states with high shares of college-educated adults, men and women marry at older ages, a finding supported by other research indicating that highly educated individuals marry later in life. In states with low shares of college-educated adults, adults are more likely than average to marry three or more times. In states with low income levels, men are more likely than average to have been married three or more times. For this analysis, correlation also was tested between a state’s marriage or divorce statistics and the share of its 2008 presidential election vote that went Democratic.
