Marriage appears to be in decline because:

the proportion of people living alone has fallen to 29%
many people are cohabiting in long term relationships
the upward curve of remarriages compensates for the drop in first marriages
all of the above
many people are cohabiting in long term relationships  In statistical terms, marriage appears to be in decline because there has been a fall in the number of first marriages since the 1960s and there are more and more people living alone. However, there has been a sharp rise in the rate of cohabitation in Britain, whereby couples live together without being married, and this suggests that we remain committed to the idea of long term relationships. 466-467
