USA TODAY -- June 27 -- A USA Today analysis of Census records of
Americans ages 45-55
shows that the percentage of those who said they had never been married
in 2006 had doubled since 1990, and the percentage of those who were
currently married had dropped by 9%. According to the most recent data
from the federal Survey of Income
and Program Participation, which includes marriage, 13% of those
who wed in 2003 were 45 and older. Internet dating has largely
made it possible for many of these later-life first marriages. Yahoo
Personals reports a 33% increase from January 2006 to November 2007
among
users ages 45 and over who say they have never been married. Match.com
reports an increase of almost 10%. FULL ARTICLE @ APP
