Most of us have heard the statistics that claim half of all marriages will end in divorce. While that was true in the early 1980s, divorce has been on a steady decline since then. Today, in the United States, about 39 percent of all marriages will end in divorce.
The drop in divorce rates is largely related to Millennials, who appear to be more selective about their life partners, marry later, and are more likely to remain married. Some of these younger couples say they want to be more financially secure when they marry, while others are finishing up their education, or are laser-focused on getting their careers off the ground.
In any case, the 50 percent divorce rate that is still claimed is nothing more than a myth – and there are plenty of those myths circulating regarding divorce.
