Divorce Rate 50%?


I listened to Family Sanctuary on St. Gabriel radio 820 AM after lunch.  Catherine Wood said that highest divorce has ever been was 40% in 1979.  She said the media took the divorce rate one year (1981) compared to the number of new marriages one year to get 50%!  Divorce rate has declined ever since 1979 and is normally 30%.  70% of couples never divorce!  One in 1000 marriages divorce if the couple prays together!  The family that prays together actually stays together!

Shocking statistics, aren't they?  Those numbers made my day but made me shook my head at what we are told.  Much of what we are told isn't true!

"Recent studies on marriage show that, while their rates of divorce are significant, U.S. Catholics are less likely to divorce than people of other religious affiliations.

“Although the Catholic ‘divorce rate’ is lower than the U.S. average, it is still a daunting figure,” said the Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate at Georgetown University.
 
In a Sept. 26 blog post, the research group explained that divorce among Catholics “represents more than 11 million individuals,” many of whom “are likely in need of more outreach and ongoing ministry from the Church.”
In its article, the organization explained that different ways of tallying divorce and marriage rates create a range of different divorce figures, including the oft-quoted statistic that “half of all marriages fail.”

Many of my friends have been divorced, many have not.  People don't stick through marriage like our parents did.  I am sure there is good and bad to that.

Divorce is hard enough on most people involved but it is devastating to the children from the marriage.  Even if one or both partners are very difficult people, it is natural for children to want both parents.  It must be embarrassing at school to be one of the few children going through divorce.

The radio program today gave me hope.  I have quoted the wrong numbers for divorce rate too long.

  1. "AM 820
    That is the same frequency as WBAP out of Fort Worth - Dallas. 820 AM after lunch.



    After dark WBAP can be heard around the world. A Clear Channel High Power AM Radio Station.

    I used to like to listen to Bill Mack with his Truckers radio of country music and interesting news.

    Planes with Directional Radios could tune in 820 and drive right to Beacon Hill out side of Fort Worth.




    Divorce, It is my opinion about a fourth of all marriages maybe a third of end up in a divorce.

    Of the one time Divorced maybe half of those again divorced.
    Some hardy folks end up getting divorced 7 to 10 times.

    Now it appears the younger adults never go through the formality of marriage.

    A number of Older Widows and Widowers set up house keeping but keep their own finances."

  2. I didn't know if that divorce/marriage ratio was a very relevant figure at first, but it seems to be so, as there are otherwise so many variables that hide the whole picture. For instance, the marriage rate has been declining over 4‰ points since the 80s, so that would not show up in the divorce rate until 10 years later if 10 years is the average marriage duration. Same for the ratio though: The 53% ratio of 2011 is probably already underestimated if it's for marriages from 10 years ago.

    All countries that have a higher divorce/marriage ratio than the U.S. have a lower divorce rate: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divorce_demography#Countries
    So maybe the ratio is a good way to summarize this society issue, but there are different equally valid angles to look at it too, depending on what you want to study.

    Funny, people with no religious affiliation have the same divorce rate as Protestants:

  4. Even funnier, I wrote this while listening to:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7pbxRz0AOho

    "Unstoppable love that never ends
    No sin, no shame, no past, no pain
    Can separate me from Your love
    No height, no depth, no fear, no death
    Can separate me from Your love"

    Although of course it's about the love of Jesus, not of a married couple...
