Marriage Is Best For Bringing Up Kids

Last month's ONS stats revealed that women could be more likely to be a Mum than a Mrs. but new research reveals Brits still believe marriage is best for bringing up kids.

Although the statistics reveal marriage has dropped to its lowest level since 1895, a scientific study to be released this week reveals traditional attitudes remain strong, particularly amongst men.

In a study of 3000 British men and women, the scientific team behind relationship site eHarmony, found that 45% of men believe that marriage is important for bringing-up children with 42% of women agreeing.

eHarmony Labs, the Californian research centre behind the UK site, discovered that belief in marriage amongst us Brits is still strong, particularly amongst younger age groups. 59% of 16-24 year olds believe marriage is "a natural step in confirming your commitment", whilst less than 20% feel it is outdated or irrelevant.more
