During the traditional wedding ceremony, the bride and the bridegroom promise each other lifelong devotion. Yet, about one out of four American marriages ends in divorce. 61)
Since 1940, the divorce rate has more than doubled, and experts predict that, of all marriages that occurred in the 1970s, about 50% will end in divorce.
The U. S. A. has one of the highest divorce rates in the world, perhaps even the highest.
What goes wrong? 62)
The fact that divorce is so common in the United States does not mean that Americans consider marriage a casual, unimportant relationship.
Just the opposite is true. Americans expect a great deal from marriage. They seek physical, emotional, and intellectual compatibility. They want to be deeply loved and understood. It is because Americans expect so much from marriage that so many get divorced. They prefer no marriage at all to a marriage without love and understanding. With typical American optimism, they end one marriage in hope that the next will be happier. With no-fault divorce laws in many states, it is easier than ever to get a divorce. 63)
Some American women stay in unhappy marriages because they don’ t have the education or job experience to support themselves and their children, but most American women believe that, if necessary, they can make it alone without a husband.
All things considered, Americans have little reason to continue an unhappy marriage.
Which marriages are most likely to end in divorce? Marriages between people with low incomes or limited education and marriages between teenagers are at greatest risk. The number of divorces between couples with children under the age of 18 is declining, and almost 45% of divorcing couples are childless.
64)
When a couple gets divorced, the court may require the man to pay his former wife a monthly sum of money, which depends on the husband’ s income, the wife’ s needs, and the length of the marriage.
If the woman is working and earns a good salary, she may receive no money at all. Occasionally, the court decides that a woman should pay her husband money. About 10% of American women outearn their husbands. 65)
If the woman has totally supported her husband during the marriage, the court may decide that she must continue to support him after the divorce, which is a rather new concept in the United States.
