In today’s culture, we see a troubling trend: More American men are delaying marriage or opting out entirely, posing damaging and potentially disastrous ramifications for society.
While more women are also caught up in the same trend, the statistics among men are the highest and most troubling. Recent data from the U.S. Census Bureau shows that the median age for first marriages has climbed to 30.4 for men, a record high. Studies by Pew Research found that in 2021, 47.35 million men had never married, while in 2023, 28% of 40-year-old men were still unmarried, a nearly five-fold increase over 1980, when just 6% of men had entered middle age without having ever tied the knot.
At the same time, movements that discourage marriage, citing unhappiness and potential financial losses in divorce, are gaining popularity. Concerns about the division of assets, alimony, and child support are often cited as the primary reasons for men to avoid marriage. However, as designed by God, the institution of marriage offers invaluable benefits that far outweigh these concerns.
In this article, you’ll find five compelling reasons, grounded in biblical truth and supported by statistical evidence, that explain why men should marry.
