The graph shows the information about the number of marriages in the UK from 1951 to 2001

The line graph gives information about the number of British married couples of three different categories from 1951 to 2001.
In general, it can be seen that all marriages accounted for the highest number, while the number of people remarrying had a downward trend.
At the beginning of the period, the total number of married couples in the UK was 450,000 people. Over 10 years later, marriages gradually increased by 20,000 couples before hitting their peak, with 550,000. In contrast, in half of the period, there was a significant decrease of 450,000.
During the first half of the period, from 1951 to 1971, the number of people remarried accounted for the lowest on the chart and 250,000 couples less than ones of first married people, with 100,000 and 350,000. In 1981, both categories had the same patterns of marrying numbers. After that, the figure for first marriages dramatically went down by 350,000 couples. Finally, remarriages made up the lowest number, at 100,000.
