This graph shows us a couple interesting things.
- Marriage rates are falling. Pretty drastically.
- After thirty the chances of ever getting married really start to drop. You could say that men are not interested in marrying women after 30.

You could also say that women who are not married by 30 have other priorities and marriage isn’t one of them. There seems to be a saturation point for each generation after which the uptick slows to a trickle. You could make the argument that fewer women in each successive generation are making marriage a “must” in life.
I would bet you this data would be inverted for women with a college degree by given age, i.e. younger generations are achieving higher levels of education by 30, but it likely levels off gradually as well since not everyone attends college.
Yeah that’s such a reach based on this data. You could easily argue that women over 30 aren’t interested in marriage, or non-marriage partnerships are becoming more common, or the plateau after 30 won’t continue, or any number of things. Simply isn’t enough data to say.
