Maariv reports on Israel's Central Bureau of Statistics releasing statistics (PDF) on the average age of men and women at the time of their first marriage.
| 1970 | 1980 | 1990 | 2002 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Men | 24.1 | 24.8 | 26.0 | 26.9 |
| Women | 21.4 | 22.0 | 23.2 | 24.6 |
So it seems the average age for marriage is increasing; I'll leave the speculations as to why to others. In the meantime, I have 3 days to get married before I'm officially over the hill.
Or I suppose I could just be "above average..."
