Not Everyone Gets Divorced Written on December 1, 2009, by Carol Cavanaugh.
Television and the media seem to report every day about a celebrity couple breaking up after a brief marriage. There are lots of articles out there concerning how bad the marriage rate is in the United States. But is it really true that everyone gets divorced? Is it correct to assume that all of our children are the product of divorce?
In 2005 the divorce rate in the United States had fallen to 3.6 per 1000 people. From an all-time high of 4.7 per 1000 persons in’90, this was deemed the lowest ever since’70. Well over half of children in the US were raised by both natural parents four years ago.
In the year 2005, the number of persons getting married dipped to 7.5 per 1000 against 7.8 per 1000 in the previous year. The population contains 59% of married couples, conversely, 10% of the population is divorced. Statistics reveal that 52 percent of marriage last as long as 15 years, 65 per cent of couple could prolong it for a decade and as high as 82 percent of marriages last for only 5 years.
So what do all these statistics show? While it is true that there are many children living in broken homes, it is not a majority of the children in the United States. It is however the lowest percentage of any industrialized country and not an acceptable number.
The statistics also show that a large majority of marriages last at least 5 years. It is everyone’s endeavor to lead a successful married life. They take their vows seriously enough stay together. And more people are staying together than have in recent history.
The idea of No Fault divorce has been around for over 40 years now. When it was first introduced, many people took advantage of this new concept. It was treated as some type of fad that made it more popular. Now it has become part of the main stream and is not just used because of its popularity.
The statistics tells not all marriages fails in America. There are a large number of people throughout the nation who are happy with their marriage. Marriage is not just an officially signed license. It is not what keeps two people together. A true marriage is in a person’s mind, body and soul. The unification of a couple cannot be destroyed by simply tearing up the document used to signify said union. Perhaps this is why a large portion of the population is unmarried.
People no longer marry hurriedly and prefer to wait and watch before their marriage. Since they are waiting till they are older they are possibly spending more time with their future mate before they get married. It enables couples to become one in body as well as soul. Their marriage can be more successful and they won’t become another part of the negative statistics of marriage.
