system("pause");


return 0;
}

I just need help setting the table. I have an issue with getting the martial status from 1 or 2 to actually saying single or married on the table. If you find any errors feel free to correct me, Im a newbie. Thanks.

Something like this:

const std::string SINGLE = "Single" ;
    const std::string MARRIED = "Married" ;
    const std::string INVALID = "??????" ;
    
    if( marital_status == 1 ) std::cout << SINGLE ;
    else if( marital_status == 2 ) std::cout << MARRIED ;
    else cout << INVALID ;

Alternatively, use a switch-case.

You need to: #include <string> and also perhaps validate user input.
