The divorce rate in US



The divorce rate in the United States is highly debatable due to its statistical figures and media reporting. According to the American for Divorce Reforms the average safe figure is between 40 and 50 percent. The statistics indicate divorce became popular in the late 40’s, slightly increasing and the 50’s and reaching its peak in the 60’s and 70’s and finally leveling off in the late 80’s. A study made by Barna Research Group found the following statistics from 3854 adults across the 48 of the 50
US States; 11 percent of the population is currently divorced, 25 percent of the adults have had at least one divorce during their life time. Contrary to what most people believe the Conservative Christian with strong faith beliefs showed higher divorce rate.
