Welcome

Welcome to Unmarried Equality. After 27 years of standing up for fairness and equal treatment of all people regardless of marital status, Unmarried Equality is pleased to announce a restart of the organization with a new Board of Directors. Because a large share of our constituency is single, we have changed our name to Singles Equality, but we have not changed our mission to stand up and support all unmarried people. We have a new web site: Singles Equality, with renewed, more up to date information. Unmarried Equality, will remain as an information resource about unmarried issues, although many pages have not been updated in a very long time. For more current information, we suggest you go to our new website.

Marriage Considered Not Very Important to a Fulfilling Life, U.S. Surveys Show

April 22, 2025

As we at Unmarried Equality advocate for the rights of people who are not married, we have an advantage that is not widely recognized: adults in the U.S. – and teens, too – do not see marriage as all that important to a fulfilling adult life.
