The Millennial Generation and Marriage

how millennials atitude to marriage is reducing divorce rates

The millennial generation is the generation that is roughly defined as those who were born between the early 1980s to the early 2000s. They are a generation who are getting married older and living together before marriage, completely different to the ‘baby boomer’ generation, those who were born between the mid-1940s and the mid-1960s.

In fact, those millennials who married in the 2000s are divorcing at even lower rates and if this trend keeps up, it is very possible that almost two-thirds of those marriages will be long term and not end up in divorce.
