The chorus of family values that has rocked America over the last few years has focused on the impact of children growing up without fathers. In this lecture I shall address the obverse question: what is the impact on society of men neither marrying nor living with children. Between 1968 and 1993 the fraction of men 25 to 34 who are householders living with children declined from 66% to 40%.1 I shall model marriage according to its traditional and conventional meaning as a rite of passage - a sacrament that marks the transition from one stage of life to another. I shall discuss what difference it might make that men are increasingly delaying this rite of passage with the implication that they are also delaying the transition that it symbolises.
