48 Divorce Statistics in 2020 (in America) Including Divorce Rate
What's the point of me giving y'all all these receipts if you ain't gonna read?This is probably accounting for that older generation that don’t get divorced like that. Newer generations get divorced a lot more often. First person I knew personally got divorced at 25. Someone else I know , his just went final when he was 39
actually i did.Breh why are you just dropping links at random that don't even make your claim?
You didn't read a single link I posted OR a single link you posted, did you?

Why are parents needed at all?Yeah, reading threads like this just reminds me how differently I think/move from most people on this site.
Just toss some money at it, dads aint needed
You really trying to be ignorant as fukk. The article you JUST linked right there compared the 15-year divorce rate for each generation.actually i did.
for example this one.
The common statistic that 'half of marriages end in divorce' is bogus
really? newly weds have a lower divorce rate. no shyt. its the honey moon stage. but it has nothing to do with marriage in general. of course the first 5 yrs have a lower rate. im talking marriage in general. but ok. if you say so man. marriage in the west is one of the strongest bonds in the world.
That's the link you quoted yourself and claimed it was only looking at newlyweds. That has nothing to do with newlyweds. That shows based on a very specific deadline that more marriages starting in the 1990s reached their 15th anniversary than those starting in the 1970s/1980s, proving the divorce rate has been going down.Approximately 65% of marriages that began in the 1970s and 1980s reached their 15th anniversary, according to data from University of Michigan economist Justin Wolfers provided to the New York Times. Based on that same data, about 70% of marriages from the 1990s reached 15 years, for a divorce rate of about 30%.
In the 1970s, people thought marriage was doomed.
There's a reason why people are worried about divorce rates. It's a holdover from decades ago, when the rate started trending upwards.
But according to the Times, the rise in divorce rates in the 1970s and 1980s was a historical anomaly. It occurred during the same time as a major feminist movement, which changed the way society thought about the role of women in life and in the economy.
At the time, the high divorce rate signaled an upward trend that would lead to 50% of marriages ending up in divorce. But that statistic never substantiated itself. Divorce rates began declining in the mid-1980s and continue to do so.
In fact, the divorce rate in the United States is going down. It hit a peak of about 41% for people who married 35 years ago and it's been falling ever since.

The black community’s case is not that simple, as there are women in the black community like Lucy who did not want to settle down and do their sex and the city phase. Plus other nuances that are absolutely abysmal in the terms of big picture thinkingThis is pretty common among both sexes and if we are talking about black people in the US it is very popular. Jaded women give up on love and would rather quench that motherly desire by having a child alone. Men still not ready to settle down go around planting seeds and having babies without commitment. They both get what they want without heartache and headache I guess.
