Meeting a Spouse in College

Does anyone know if college is where most people meet their future spouse? If so, do you guys have any data or sources to back this up?

There's a popular belief that many people meet their future spouse in college, and there is indeed some data to support this. A study by The Knot, a wedding planning site, found that 15% of couples met in college, making it one of the more likely places for couples to meet.

This statistic, though, doesn't necessarily mean that "most" people meet their future spouse in college. Many people also meet their spouses in the workplace, online, or through friends. Of course, these trends can also vary based on factors such as the size of the college, geographic location, culture, or community involved.

The opportunity to interact with a large group of peers, many of whom are exploring their identity and future pathways just like you are, does make it a conducive environment for forming profound relationships and connections which could transpire into a long-term relationship or marriage.

However, everyone's relational journey can be different and it's essential to remember that college is about developing as an individual, pursuing your interests, and preparing for your career just as much as it's about building social connections. Your individual journey does not need to align with any particular trend or expectation.
