10-3-2016 – A Word to the Wise: I have seen numerous young women of marital age in the past few years. It is astounding how strongly they set their face against marriage. U.S. population studies tract the rise in both sexual activity and pregnancy among nonmarried women. “Trends in non-marital pregnancy rates reflect, in part, trends in sexual activity among unmarried women. Among unmarried adult women of childbearing age, levels of sexual activity remained stable or even increased slightly between 1988 and 1995. The proportion of unmarried women in their twenties who were sexually active in the previous year increased slightly, from 72.6 to 76.8 percent).”
