The average duration of marriage is about 12 years in Australia, yet the Australian Institute of Family Studies reports that people are separating quicker. In 2011, they reported that the time that âcouples go from being married to being separated now stands at 8.7 years, up from 7.5 in 1980.â
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.
