 How Domestic Violence In One Home Affects Every Child In A Class Every Monday morning at Harvie Elementary School, in Henrico County, Va., Brett Welch stands outside her office door as kids file in. "The first thing I'm looking for are the faces," says Welch, a school counselor. She's searching for hints of fear, pain or anger. "Maybe there was a domestic incident at the house that weekend," says Welch. "That's reality for a lot of our kids."

 Trends in Marriage and Cohabitation Experiences Among Young Adults Cohabitation has usurped marriage as the most common relationship experience in young adulthood. Three-quarters of young adults have cohabited while only half have married. This trend holds true for women across race and ethnic groups as well as education levels.

Tracking Teen Attitudes About Marriage and Cohabitation High school seniors are increasingly likely to say that their ideal time to marry is several years after high school, according to a new NCFMR Family Profile. The largest percentage change is in the "over five years from now" category, which doubled from 1976 to 2014. In 2014, the majority of high school seniors responded that their ideal time to marry was "over five years from now." Conversely, the percentage of high school seniors responding that their ideal time to marry was "one year from now" dropped from 9% in 1976 to 2% in 2014. This profile is the third of a three-part series using Monitoring the Future data to examine trends in high school seniors' attitudes towards marriage and cohabitation.
