PITTSBURGH (KDKA) - If you have made it to your 40th birthday and you haven't tied the knot, don't worry, you aren't alone. 

A recent report from the Pew Research Center found that a quarter of 40-year-olds in the United States have never been married. 

The researchers looked at how marriage rates have changed among 40-year-olds in the United States from 1850 to 2021. 

They found that 40-year-old men were more likely than not to have been married than a woman.
