Currently the average age at marriage in the US is 26.8 years for men, and 25.1 years for women. It is interesting that though this represents an increased age for men, it is not significantly higher than the rate 100 years ago. Actually age rates at marriage for men declined from 1910 through 1960.he largest jump in a decade was womenâs average age at marriage in 1980 and 1990. In ten years the age rate jumped from 22 years to 23.9. In fact in the last 20 years, both men and women show a considerable increase in age at marriage.
The median age at first marriage is now 27 for women and 29 for men, up from 20 for women and 23 for men in 1960. About a quarter (24%) of never-married young adults ages 25 to 34 are living with a partner, according to Pew Research analysis of Current Population Survey data.
