New Report: Women’s Average Age for Child Bearing is Lower than Marriage

Dr. Pat Fagan, Director of the Marriage and Religion Research Institute (MARRI) at FRC, was quoted in a recent article in CNS News which discussed a new report that reveals the median age of women having their first child is lower than the age of women who get married. Dr. Fagan stated:
