Document Summary

Today"s high u. s. divorce rate: on average, 40 to 50% of marrieds can expect to have their marriages dissolved over the life course, the divorce rate is about 50% for the first marriages; increases for second/remarriage to. How are divorce rates calculated: number of divorces per year, ratio of current marriages to current divorces. You want to only count women because if you count both sexes, you could be counting the same divorce twice. Why are couples divorcing: various factors can bind marriages and families together, including: Economic interdependence if both partners make a good amount of money, the family can be rather well off but once you change it to one income, a lot of things may have to change. Independence effect: when women work, they feel much more independent emotionally and psychologically; they feel strong and able; it could encourage them to believe that they can take care of themselves.
