Trends in Marriage and Cohabitation Experiences
Among Young Adults


Cohabitation has usurped marriage as the most common relationship experience in young adulthood. Three-quarters of young adults have cohabited while only half have married. This trend holds true for women across race and ethnic groups as well as education levels. Cohabitation is increasing at a faster rate than marriage is declining. Most young adults are forming unions; they are simply choosing to cohabit rather than to marry in their young adulthood. Check out the full profile, Marriage and Cohabitation Experiences Among Young Adults (FP-16-17).
