Record High Marriages Yet Low U.S. Marriage Rate
The National Center for Health Statistics reports 2,477,192 marriages in 1984, a postwar peak, while the marriage rate for women 15 to 44 drops to 99.0 per 1,000, a historic low. Officials cite postponed marriages among singles and divorced individuals and ongoing social shifts affecting family formation. Provisional 1985 and 1986 data suggest declines in both totals and rates.

He dismissed calls as unlikely and criticized media coverage that linked him to Bond’s estranged wife and a 1987 phone call. He argued leaks threaten the criminal justice system and public fairness.
