Critics say that the sanctity of marriage seems to has diminished in the 21st century, with the new level of independence experienced by youngsters nowadays.

But the figures have increased to a whopping 90%. The number of births outside marriage, had gradually started increasing after the year 1960.

The figures started increasing from more than 10% in the 70s to 30% in the 90s. The authors of the report, Dr. Samantha Callan and Professor Rebecca Probert have argued that the facts are not a result of the fact that the number of couples living sans marriage has increased in the 20th century.

The authors had also said that only 1% to 3% of couples in the 1950s and 1960s had lived together before marriage. The study has also revealed that in the early 20th century, very few women had sex with their fiancés, so that they could be ahead of the wedding day. However, Prof Probert and Dr Callan had concluded the argument saying that they do not intend to tell that marriages in the past were successful and long lasting and they did not even suggest that successful marriages do not exist anymore.

Meanwhile, the people who seem a bit concerned are the water company authorities. The water companies – especially in the Bristol area – are looking forward to some rain, as the water levels in the reservoirs are rapidly depleting thanks to the scorching sun and increased water usage.

To add to it, the freezing temperatures in the month of December and January had destroyed many of the cordyline palms as well as the water plants in the north and Midlands. According to the meteorological office authorities, the temperatures are expected to increase up to 22C by Thursday.

The officials have also said that some scanty showers are expected to break the normal pattern. A spokesman from the meteorological department has said that the Easter holiday will experience pleasant weather and the temperatures will fall after Sunday along with some bright sunshine. Some of the regions in the south will have more sunshine.

According to the Bristol Water, it has been the driest April in 75 years. Despite the heavy meltdown of snow, the water companies are looking forward to some rain.
