The divorce rate in the United States rose steadily throughout the twentieth century. Prior to 1915, less than 10% of husbands and wives divorced. Between 1915 and 1940, the divorce climbed to almost 15%. By 1965, the divorce rate eclipsed 25%. In 1985, about 35% of all marriages ended in divorce. In the year 2000, half of all marriages ended in divorce. In 2004, almost 60% of marriages with children ended in divorce, and the rate for second marriages with children was even higher. With such a high divorce rate, is it any wonder that so many American children experience adjustment problems?
Divorced couples point to various reasons for their marital breakup: money, sex, incompatibility, immaturity, lack of commitment, violence, unhappiness, jealousy, stress, infidelity—to name a few. These marital problems are not new, however; they affected relationships a century ago.
Many experts believe the high divorce rate is a result of dramatic social and economic changes that have altered traditional family roles and relationships. They cite how increased industrialization, urban living and many other social forces have affected the makeup and lifestyle of the American family. Families are less likely to work, participate in activities or eat meals together. Husbands and wives may both work outside the home. As a result, many American children must develop self-dependence at an early age than their ancestors did.
America’s children reflect the effects of what is happening to the American family. Never before have so many children faced so many problems; physical and sexual abuse, crime and delinquency, depression and suicide, drug and alcohol abuse, emotional and behavioral problems, learning difficulties, school problems, dropping out, poor grades, running away from home, pregnancy, abortion and venereal disease. Sometimes these problems result from unhealthy social or family relationships. They also may arise as a byproduct of an unhappy marriage or a damaging divorce.
Divorce can be a very painful and disruptive experience for children, with long-term effects. Some children manage to survive their parents’ unhappy marriage and painful divorce and grow past it; other children suffer from the effects for years. How children are affected by divorce largely depends on their personality, the circumstance surrounding the divorce and the parents’ sensitivity to their children.
It is toward a better understanding of how parents can be more sensitive to their children during the divorce process that this publication is dedicated. When parents put the needs of their children first, and are aware of how their own behavior can either harm or help their offspring during this time of turmoil, it is possible to reduce the negative effects of divorce on children.
The statistics for the divorce rate in the U. S. are to show that______.
