Somehow I missed this (or else I've just forgotten I knew about it): there was a Gallup poll recently which \"found [that] 60 percent of Americans no longer think sex outside marriage is wrong.\"<\/p>\n
Also from the same article<\/a> where I saw that: \"In 1998, one-third of babies were born to unmarried women.\" (I'm assuming that's American babies.)<\/p>\n And: \"The number of unmarried couples living together grew by 70 percent in the past 10 years.\"<\/p>\n For related data (with a strong pro-marriage slant), see the National Marriage Project<\/a>: \"Between 1960 and 1998 . . . the number of unmarried couples in America increased by close to 1000 percent.\" I think (from context) that they're talking about unmarried couples who live together (or, as they put it, \"cohabit\").<\/p>\n (And yes, I found those pages while doing research for a story. And no, it didn't answer my questions. Anyone know anything about attitudes toward marital sex in the 1930s? If I had more time, I'd try to get some info from the Kinsey Institute<\/a>.)<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Somehow I missed this (or else I’ve just forgotten I knew about it): there was a Gallup poll recently which…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-76","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/76","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=76"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/76\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=76"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=76"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=76"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
