On your own? You're in good company. Just north of half of Americans over the age of 16—50.2% of them, or 124.6 million, to be specific—are single, the Bureau of Labor Statistics finds. It's the first time a majority have been single since such record-keeping began in 1976, Bloomberg reports. Back then, the percentage of singles was 37.4%. A few other relevant numbers: The percentage of Americans who've never tied the knot is now 30.4%, compared to 22.1% in 1976, while the percentage of divorced people is 19.8%, versus 15.3% in 1976, RT reports.

So?? Just shows that more people who copulate are rejecting morality.
Single = welfare support. Married = working for a living, unless you are indigent or illegal. All related to government interference designed to control the sheeple.
Why get married when you can have your cake and eat it too. To easy to just walk away. Most couples now have a family first and then split up. I've been married for over 26 years now, and I am in the minority. In my office, I am one of a handful of people still married and only one of three still married to their original spouse. No marriage is perfect, but if you not willing to compromise with each other, it won't work.
Faulty stats: The researchers are saying people are old enough to marry at 17. I think not.

Hey moron, I'm not married, but I live with the person I want to spend the rest of my life with and we easily pull in 80k/year working locally and we aren't even 25.
Far from welfare support buddy!
Married people are so envious of singles they put out crap like 9:19 to make themselves feel better.
Go, 9:19 You've pi$$ed off the rabble..
