According to Pew, the U.S. marriage rate hit a 140-year low in 2019 and has never fully rebounded. A slight rise in the overall marriage rate in the past few years may be attributable to a dip in the divorce rate and longer life spans. “Men are living longer,” Dr. Fry said, which means fewer widows are being pooled into the singles population.
