FlowingData Compares Relationships in the 1970s and the 2010s

People in the 1970s get married quickly. Some even get married immediately only a few months after they first met. By the 2010s, people decide to live together for a while before deciding to get married. FlowingData compares these two time periods and gives us a beautiful statistical animation.

From Nathan Yau of FlowingData:

...You can see the people who married within the first few months after meeting. There are the people who married five decades after first meeting. I think there’s a romantic comedy script hidden somewhere in there.

Interesting. I met Mrs. O in April of 1963 and we were married at the end of August that year. I got lucky to find such a great lady and she said yes.
