Census: Nearly One Third of Americans Never Marry

1

One more interesting note on the newly-released census data: Nearly a third of adults never marry at all. That number has steadily increased over the past 15 years.

Among Catholics, however, only 17 percent of adults in the U.S. have never married.

So, two questions for the astute reader:

1. Why are a growing number of Americans forgoing marriage altogether?

2. Why are Catholics more likely to marry?

Ready...set...comment!
