Average Age of Marriage for Americans Throughout History

The Marrying Age, Through the Ages


Updated 12/19/09 8:16 PM · Posted by TresSugar · 38 comments

In 2008 the average American man got married at 28, and the average woman at 25. These facts got me wondering: how do these marrying ages compare to past generations?

I did some digging through US Census data, and found some trends. See if you can guess at what ages Americans, past and present, like to tie the knot!
