Marriage, Divorce

The American Psychological Association website states that marriage and divorce are common experiences. Both have a significant impact on the family – couple and children.

Healthy marriage positively impacts all the parties’ mental and physical health. Children also benefit a lot from healthy marriages.

They grow up in a healthy home that protects them from mental, educational, physical, and social problems.

On the other hand, divorce may influence one’s well–being. It may result in many individuals experiencing depression, isolation, low self-esteem, loneliness, and other psychological issues/stresses.

According to marriage.com, the Austin Institute for the Study of Family and Culture used data from 4,000 divorced couples and identified top causes for divorce in the United States to include infidelity by either party, spouse unresponsive to the needs, incompatibility; immaturity of spouse; emotional abuse and financial problems.

The divorce rate in America is among the highest across all nations. Currently, there are 750,000 divorces per year in the United States. Additionally, the current divorce rate is 2.9 persons in 1,000 people.

In general, the divorce rate in the U.S is depreciating in numbers. Moreover, the average length of the marriage is 8. 2 years.
