Contrast the 34% married figure and 47% single figure with this fact:

"Nearly 41 percent of young adults had their own or their partner's child in the household at age 27."

More than 50% were married or cohabiting. That would make it possible for every single child to be in a household being raised by a couple. This is probably the figure you are looking for:

"Sixty-five percent of married individuals had at least one child in the home, compared with 21 percent of single individuals"
