答案                 The Average Age at First Marriage in the U.S.
    The graph shows that women generally got married at an earlier age than men in the 88 years from 1900 to 1987. The lowest age at first marriage for women occurred between 1950 and 1960, which was slightly over 20 years old. At the same time, that for men dropped to the lowest point, just above 23 years old.
    There were two stages of changes in the average age at first marriage for both men and women: from 1900 to 1940 and from 1950 to 1987. During the first 40 years, there was a slow but steady downward tendency of first marriage for men, dropping from nearly 26 to slightly below 25. Women’s age at first marriage also descended from 1900 to 1920, slightly upward from just below 22 in 1920 to just over 22 in 1940.
    From 1950 to 1987, there appeared a steady delaying trend in first marriage with men reaching almost 26 in 1987, while women’s age at first marriage rose from 22 in 1980 to nearly 24 in 1987, the eldest age for women in the 88 years.
