Marriage Stats on the Rise in Australia?
And divorce stats are down....
I think our traditional values are coming to light in these troubled times. People want comfort and certainty that comes from living out these values. This has been reflected in Australia's voting patterns, how we spend our time, and our expectations from work and society.
I also note that both my wife and I are under the average age for marriage.

But the nature of relationships is changing, the official figures show. We're waiting an average of five years longer to get married than two decades ago.Maybe we'll see an increase in attendance at our churches following this, what with the conservative nature of society?
The typical bride is now 29.2 years, with the typical groom now 31.5 years
