While marriage still accounts for the majority of relationships, its traditional dominance is giving way to the growing popularity of common-law unions. According to data from the 1995 General Social Survey in Canada, women whose first conjugal union was a common-law relationship were almost twice as likely to separate as women who married first. Young people were more inclined to live in common-law union with their first partner. In 1995, only 1 percent of women ages sixty to sixty-nine lived common-law in their first union. By contrast, 38 percent of women ages thirty to thirty-nine chose common-law first, while 52 percent of those ages twenty to twenty-nine chose common-law.<\/p>\n
The likelihood of the common-law relationship ending in divorce or separation has increased significantly. While 25 percent of women ages sixty to sixty-nine experienced a breakup at some point in their lives in 1995, more than 40 percent of those in their thirties and forties had already gone through one.<\/p>\n
