Answer:
For example, between 2006 and 2010, nearly half of heterosexual women (48 percent) ages fifteen to forty-four said they were not married to their spouse or partner when they first lived with them. That’s up from 43 percent in 2002, and 34 percent in 1995 (Rettner 2013).
The Pew Research Center reports that the number of unmarried couples who live together, has grown from fewer than one million in the 1970s to 8.1 million in 2011 to 18 million in 2016. Of the 18 million, 8.9 million are ages 18-34, 4.7 million are ages 35-49, and 4.0 million are 50+. [1]. Cohabiters ages 50 and older comprise one quarter (23%) of all cohabiting adults in 2016, which grew by 75% since 2007 and although this seems high, only 4% of U.S. adults 50 and older were cohabiting.
