Revealing Divorce Statistics In 2025

The decision to end a marriage is deeply personal, but there are some widespread factors that weigh into the decision. For example, you’re more likely to divorce if you have divorced friends. And you’re less likely to divorce in Louisiana than in Nevada. We’ve combed through research from the U.S. C

Divorce rates also vary by race. Many factors could explain these discrepancies, including differing cultural norms surrounding the institution of marriage as well as systemic biases that undermine family structures in certain communities.


Here’s what the data shows about both divorce and marriage rates by ethnicity.

• The divorce rate for white couples is 15.1%. The marriage rate among these couples is 32.1%.
• The divorce rate for Black couples is 30.8%, and the marriage rate is 17.3%
• The divorce rate for Latino couples is 18.5%, and the marriage rate is 33.2%

College-Educated Women Are Most Likely to Have a Lasting Marriage​

One particular demographic group has the highest likelihood of a long-lasting marriage: College-educated women.

Earning a degree significantly decreases the chances of a woman divorcing. However, the benefits apply only when the degree is earned. Women who attend some college but who do not graduate are far less likely than their credentialed counterparts to remain married over the long term.

In fact, while 78% of women with a bachelor’s degree have a marriage that lasts at least 20 years, just 49% of women with some college education reach this milestone. And just 40% of women with a high-school education or less have a marriage that lasts 20 years or more.[27]

I've said before, those couples who meet in college because they know what they want from the time they were kids have a large chance to make it.

Meet the love of their life in college, couple finds jobs quickly after they graduate, have a house and kids by the time they're 26 or a little later if their goal is to become a PhD or doctor.

Then they raise their kids with the same values.

30.8% divorce rate = 69.2% are still married.



Could be much better, but society would have to encourage and support unions a LOT more.​

When did you get back?

I thought this was a pretty known consensus?

I've seen these stats for over a decade

Yeah, apparently the original study didn't have that much data (it was based on only about 300 wm/bf relationships) the updated study from the image I posted had far more data.

From the original study in 2008:

https://www.healthymarriageinfo.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/But-Will-It-Last--Marital.pdf

As you can see they only queried about 600 total BF through all relationship combinations.

I haven’t looked at the study yet, but the sample size does not matter. Is the analysis drastically significant at p-values of .05, .01, .001? That’s what’s matter. Then you can start attacking research design, foibles, p-hacking, etc.

I’m doing a project right now with 734 black men and 717 black women, and have zero issues with drastically significant results.

Jobs and hourses are out there breh, you got to be willing to make the move though, which many people if they want it bad enough will.

Finish with a good degree, get a cheaper house in the boonies. Pay it off quick and sit real good.

When you're young and a good decision maker you got your whole life in front of you.

We marry the least and divorce the most. This has been known for a long time. Stop denying it.
Many sources have proven this.

Unfortunately, black folks suck at marriage

It’s not that.

Black women are more likely to make more than their spouses. If a woman makes more money than her husband and it’s not temporary (1-2 years) she is going to think she can do better.

I mean, yea? Let’s keep it a bean. Most black men don’t want to get married because of the fear of having to give up half of the non existent millions they have and wanna fukk around with a lot of women.

Most black women these days don’t wanna get married because they don’t really respect black men and wanna turn up and be able to do single shyt and not be tied down. If there was a surge in marriages I’m sure things would be different but I don’t see that happening anytime soon.

Smart people prevail, get resourceful and do what it takes breh.

There are graduates right now that are setting themselves up pretty while everyone else got a doomer mentality.

Not everyone is going to sit around, sulk and accept it.

Most promising careers are near cities. And no one wants to live in the boonies and deal with a hellish commute.

All those numbers sound fugazi and low

Edit: If this is across all ages then it makes much more sense.

 

[King Poetic]

Black folks have become individualist and the whole it’s about me it’s about my dreams its about what i want

U can see it simply in the neighborhoods, social media, message boards, etc etc

Black men/ black women are done when it comes to unity
