7 ways being married influences your success
In the US, people are getting hitched less often than they once did, and young Americans are putting off marriage more than ever before.
In 1962, half of 21-year-olds and 90% of 30-year-olds had been married at least once. In 2014, only 8% of 21-year-olds and 55% of 30-year-olds had been married.
According to Bloomberg, married Americans are now the minority.
Relationship experts believe that American marriages are more challenging today than ever before because we expect so much more out of marriage, and when higher expectations aren't met, it can suffocate a marriage to the point of destroying it.
As a result, we tend to see more extreme manifestations of struggling and healthy marriages.
While we know that marriages come in all shapes and sizes - some are short-lived, while others are enduring; some are really happy, and some aren't - how does marriage ultimately impact the many facets of your success?
Well, there's no simple answer. But these studies will begin to unpack the question a little and help us better understand the many factors at play.
