The percentage of American women who are presently not living with a spouse is a little more than 50%. Of those, some had never been married, which isn't strange considering that the definition of "women" is age 15 and older, and further, that Americans don't tend to marry young any more. Some had been married but their husbands were deceased, which isn't strange considering that women tend to live longer than men. Then there is the fact that women outnumber men, in general, due to the fact that the male mortality rate is higher for every age cohort except for newborns, of whom males outnumber females slightly. There are, of course, a significant number of women living with men without the benefit of clergy. I have yet to see a simple, yet comprehensive way of describing these demographics, given that the dimensions are multi-factorial. Age cohort matters quite a bit. For women born between 1955 to 1959, about 79 percent were married for at least 15 years at time of survey, compared with only 57 percent for women who married for the first time from 1985 to 1989. census.gov
