Assorted Marriage Data From The GSS


Eleven charts of data from the GSS (1972-2012) detailing happiness, marriage, and divorce data. The age, age of first marriage, and marital cohort variables have been recoded for legibility.


The questions:

4a. If ever married: How old were you when you first married?

13. Respondent's age

157. Taken all together, how would you say things are these days - would you say that you are very happy, pretty happy, or not too happy?

158. Taking all things together, how would you describe your marriage?

1291. Were you ever divorced?1

1652. Marriage cohort of the respondent.
