Marriage rates have been declining 1) and the age at which people marry has been increasing Divorce rates have increased dramatically in the last four decades. There are also more and more couples 2) who have chosen not to marry Single parents are no longer the exception and women have started giving birth to fewer children later on in life. The result is that it is becoming increasingly rare to find the nuclear family structure in 21st century Britain.
