As a millennial, everyone in my age group who HAS gotten married, is still married. From what I see, my generation is getting married less often, but staying married when they do. YMMV The only millennial that I know that has been divorced is my cousin... But his dad has been married 5 times so I consider that an outlier. |

The divorce rate is down because they aren’t getting married to start with.

I'm sure it's been said but OP, really? you can't tell that the data is UNGODLY skewed because
A. millennials meaning anyone born 1980 to the mid 90's ARE BARELY DATING LET ALONE GETTING MARRIED B. Almost all of them under the age of 30 don't have a real job and STILL LIVE AT HOME I'd bet this study lumped a bunch of late GenX'ers in there to get their numbers up. Next you'll be telling us millennials birth rates are up higher than the boomers yet fail to identify that it's non-whites. |

The change in demographics of the US plays a role in the lower divorce rate. Third Worlders stay married, because culturally the wife is entirely submissive to the husband. First World women actually have intellect and skill sets.
But, you can't mention that. Because, racism.

Just wait until the average millenial's age gets a little order and things start to get "stale". Poles are easy to skew, it all depends on how and when they are done.

We were raised in broken homes by self righteous boomers that sucked at relationships.
Of course we’re better at marriage who wants to end up like them? Boomers: Mary young regret it break up the family and try to take all the other persons shit so they can fuck around and have a good time. Mellinials: learn how to have relationships when your young, fuck around have a good time and wait for marriage until you have your shit together and find the person you want to spend your life with. |

Plus less folks are getting married. Many of my friends from HS are still single, and I see lots of older folks on FB are still at the clubs in their late 30s and 40s. Meaning the folks getting married are probably the ones they really want to be married, vs 20 years ago it was just what you were supposed to do.

It looks like the divorce rate spiked during WW2 and not really after as it looks like it was already falling back down as the war ended. So does war in general cause spikes in divorce rates?

It's not that. There is no housing inflation. Forty years ago a couple would buy a house for 70k, and in 15 years it would be worth 150k or 200k. The little lady goes to a lawyer and he asks her how she is going to pay for the divorce? He has his paralegal go to Zillow and find out the appraisal. He asks her what the balance is on the mortgage. Bingo. Out go the papers. The lawyer knows the house will be sold in the divorce, and he (and his opponent) will be paid out of the proceeds. Their fees, up to the amount of equity, are guaranteed. No dunning letters, no threats to the client to pay, etc. Just bide your time, and it all gets paid. Now, people are under water, or have very little equity. The same little lady goes to the lawyer, he finds the couple has no or negative equity, and he says you gonna have to post a 10k retainer. She goes home and figures the old man ain't so bad after all.

Most selfish generation ever, my Dad is on his 4th marriage, he's 74 so I think this one might be his last but who knows with him. Quote HistoryQuoted:
From 1990 to 2015, according to Bowling Green's National Center for Family and Marriage Research, the divorce rate doubled for people aged 55 to 64, and even tripled for Americans 65 and older. Cohen's results suggest this trend, called "grey divorce," may have leveled out in the past decade, but boomers are still divorcing at much higher rates than previous generations did at similar ages. |

Sadly it looks like millennials are also the only ones with reading comprehension in this thread.
The only indicator that the lower marriage rate ties to the divorce rate is that people are taking marriage more seriously, getting married at older ages, and are more careful who they marry. In what way is that a bad thing? I'm a millennial, my parents divorced, it got kinda ugly. Most of my friends' parents divorced as well, and in a lot of cases their parents remarried and divorced again. Why would we want to copy that idiocy? Maybe growing up in households to parents that should have never married to begin with revealed how carefully one should pick a life partner? What is the downside again? Stupid millennials being stupid? I don't understand. |

My two thoughts:
- More people are living together without being married, and then getting married after X number of years of essentially living a “married” life, so a number of the would-be early divorces are potentially weeded out. - The internet & rise of online dating with comparability factors is probably going to end up becoming a “safer” route than the average traditional “we randomly met in a bar and just hit it off” route. |

this thread is proof that America is getting fucking stupider by the day.
Read the article. The author pointed out that he wasn't look at number of divorces across the entire population, but the rate of divorce among total number of married women. The marriage rate has also fallen over the last several decades. But Cohen calculates the divorce rate as a ratio of divorces to the total number of married women. So, the divorce rate’s decline isn’t a reflection of a decline in marriages. Rather, it’s evidence that marriages today have a greater chance of lasting than marriages did ten years ago. |
