A national paper last week reported that one in three women is still single at the age of 35!

In 2000 only a quarter were not married, and in 1990 just one in ten was in this position.

You can put this alarming trend down to women’s equality and the desire for a career, increase in work demands, the rising costs of living and the need to work harder to pay to live, mixed in with peers deciding to opt for the singles life and look to have babies later on in life.

Alarmingly the research showed that a couple with children must earn £50,000 a year between them before they are better off than if they lived apart.

However, 7 out of 10 women today aspire to get married.
