Graham teaches a course on Marriage and Family at American University. He received an interdisciplinary Ph.D. in Marriage Counseling from the University of Pennsylvania in 1965.

In the 1940s, Kinsey reported that about 27% of college-educated females had surrendered their virginity before marriage. Packard's study now puts the figure at 43%.
