In 1970, approximately 2.5 million couples got married. This number remained by 1980, followed by a gradual fall until it was recorded at nearly 2 million married couples by 2000. The number of divorced couples was roughly 1 million by the beginning of the period, then it peaked at almost 1,5 million in 1980, before a decrease in the following years until it reached about 1 million by 2000.
In 1970, about 15% of mature Americans were unmarried, increasing to 20% by 2000. The group of married people in the US took the highest percentage, which was recorded at roughly 70% and 60% by the start and end of the period, respectively.
