“Broader social forces, particularly economic forces, have led to substantial shifts in family structures in the U.S. These forces have also led to changes in Mormon families. Mormons are about as likely to divorce as are non-Mormons but more likely to remarry. Mormon women are slightly less likely to work outside of the home than are non-Mormon women, but the majority of Mormon women now work outside the home. Fertility rates have declined among Mormons and an increasing percentage of Mormon young people are living alone and delaying the age at which they marry. Mormons are still less likely to cohabit than are Americans in general and very few lesbian, gay, or bisexual individuals remain in the LDS Church. All of this has resulted in the traditional, nuclear family now being a minority family arrangement among Mormons.” [Authors]
