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.

Most significant of his findings is that in the past 20 years the percentage of 21-year-old unmarried U.S. college girls who have had sexual intercourse has risen nearly 60%. 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%.
