The average marriage age is the oldest it’s ever been in the United States — 29 for men and 27 for women—according to a new study entitled “Knot Yet: The Benefits and Costs of Delayed Marriage in America” from the National Marriage Project. Only 33 percent of 25-year-old women are or have been married becasue they are putting other things, such as their careers, first, says the study.

And they’re career-focused not because they’re selfish careerists but because the economy demands a certain amount of attention,” said Kay S. Hymowitz, a Manhattan Institute senior fellow and a main contributor to the “Knot Yet” report.
