Divorce rates in America have fallen every single year since 1979 but marriage rates are at a low

[Sonic Boom of the South]

So what does that imply?

 

[street heat]

people that do get married are probably staying together because of financial obligations.....cheaper to keep her

younger generation not even putting themselves in that position.

idk

Millennials tend to be on the poorer side of the economic scale and marriage has been gradually becoming associated with the upwardly mobile. I think many young people simply don't see how they can get a house much less be married with kids.

Need to look at those stats broken-down by ethnicity, age, education level, income level, location, etc.

Doesn't really say anything without an examination of those criteria, otherwise, you're just painting a blurry picture with an extremely large brush.

Listening to the "Freakonomics" podcast

They state that:
Wealth
Older
People living in rural areas
More educated

Are more likely to marry

States that Asian men are more likely to be married in America
Like 50% of them are

Black men were at 37%

 

[Originalman]

If you actually check the statistics put out by the Division of Labor, they have been saying the same thing for decades......but dudes on here are like "Divorce rates are 50%!!!!!'.....which is utter nonsense.

I have no issue with this thread. Just understand you're gonna have a bunch of knuckleheads coming in here talking out their ass.

Carry on doing what you're doing, my brother.​

That's exactly why I asked you to break it down. Divorce rates vary according to those criteria. The lesser-educated have higher rates of divorce than the well-to-do, etc.​

 

[Straw Hat Luffy]

I know a bunch of people who are technically married but are no longer together. Like a lot.

 

[L&HH]

easy statistics. Can't get a divorce if you ain't married....

"Rates" . However maybe one could argue that the type of people in the past that were more likely to get divorced just aren't getting married anymore.
