Marriage represents the fairy tale ending every couple dreams of. It’s the time when they move their relationship to the next stage in a lifelong partnership defined by love and commitment. Unfortunately, life is no fairy tale, and marriages end all too often. However, it may be good to know that the divorce rate has dropped in recent years, and more so during the time of COVID-19.

So, is this a sign that more couples have gotten their acts together? This article explores what age and in which parts of the world divorces occur the most. It also touches on the leading causes of divorces, the effects of divorce on kids, and whether COVID-19 affected divorces in any way. By reading this article, you and your partner can avoid some of the main causes of split-ups. In addition, you will be more mindful of how a divorce can adversely affect the lives of children.

General Divorce Statistics

What percentage of marriages end in divorce? Based on the findings of law firms, it takes up a fairly large percentage. And the figure progressively grows in succeeding marriages. This raises the importance of marriage counseling and good communication between couples. But a fairly recent trend suggests that the divorce rate is on a downslope, and so are marriage rates. As such, couples are being more mindful of the responsibilities of marriage before upgrading their relationships. And in the same way, married couples are finding ways to make their relationships work for the long haul.

• An estimated 41% of first marriages end in divorce. (Wilkinson & Finkbeiner, 2020)
• That number goes up to 60% for second marriages and 73% for third marriages. (Wilkinson & Finkbeiner, 2020)
• In 2019, the divorce rate in the United States hit its lowest point in 50 years. (Wang, 2020)
• However, the marriage rate also reached its 50-year low in that same year. (Wang, 2020)
• Meanwhile, the average total cost of a divorce is $12,900 and the median cost is $7,500. (Michon, 2021).
• An uncontested divorce costs an average of $4,100). (Bieber, 2020)

In a study that assesses divorce statistics by country, results show that divorces are more prevalent in the West. Countries like Russia, Latvia, and the US have higher rates than most of their Eastern counterparts. Speaking of the US, Arkansas has the highest rate among all states, while Maine has the lowest.

• Russia has the highest divorce rate in the world with 4.7 divorces per 1,000 people, followed by Guam at 4.2, and Moldova at 3.7. (WPR, 2021)
• On the other hand, the countries with the lowest divorce rates are Guatemala (0.4), Qatar (0.4), Peru (0.5). (WPR, 2021)
• Only two countries deem divorce illegal: the Philippines and the Vatican City. (The Week Staff, 2019)

• According to the latest available statistics, Latvia and Lithuania have the highest divorce rates in the EU. Both have 3.1 divorces per 1,000 people. They are followed by Denmark (2.6) and Sweden (2.5). (Eurostat, 2020)
• But if divorces in the EU are measured per 100 marriages, Portugal leads the pack at 64.2%, followed by Luxembourg (62.5%), and Spain (57.2%). (Eurostat, 2021)

Divorce Statistics in the United States

• The divorce rate in the United States is 2.9 divorces per 1,000 people. (CDC, 2020).

• Conversely, Maine has the lowest divorce rate at 4.8% per 1,000 married individuals, followed by South Dakota (6%), New York (6.10%), Pennsylvania (6.10%), and Illinois (6.20%). (Hubbard, 2020)
• Interestingly, the District of Columbia has one of the highest marriage rates (21.4%) while also having one of the lowest divorce rates (4.8%) in the country. (Hubbard, 2020)

• On the other hand, the US city with the highest divorce rate is Lealman, Indiana, with 20.2% of the population being divorcees. (Byrnes, 2020)

Divorce Rate by Gender

Between men and women, women are the ones who chiefly initiate divorces. Interestingly, the duration of their first marriages lasts l0nger than that of men. But their second marriages are shorter. This implies that men should be mindful of their spouses’ needs and emotions if they want the marriage to last. As for same-sex couples, once again, all-female marriages have a higher mortality rate. The reason for this could be that lesbian couples enter marriages too early (Wakefield, 2020).

• Women initiate divorce 69% of the time. This figure shoots up to 90% for college-educated women. (Murphy, 2019)
• The average length of a first marriage that ends up in a divorce for men is 7.8 years. (Wilkinson & Finkbeiner, 2020)
• For women, the average first marriage length that ends up in a divorce is 7.9 years. (Wilkinson & Finkbeiner, 2020)
• Meanwhile, for second marriages, it’s 7.3 years for men and 6.8 years for women. (Wilkinson & Finkbeiner, 2020)

• According to It’s Over Easy, the divorce rate of women is 7.7 per 1,000 people. (It’s Over Easy, 2020)
• Law firm Wilkinson & Finkbeiner estimates the rate to be higher at 16.9. (Wilkinson & Finkbeiner, 2020)
• 54% of divorced women do not want to remarry while only 30% of divorced men share this sentiment (McDowell, 2020).

Same-Sex Divorce Statistics

• Female couples made up 72% of same-sex divorces in 2019. (Marr, 2020)
• The divorce rate of gay couples is 16%, lower than that of straight couples (19%). (Pride Legal, 2021)

• In 2019, there were 589 divorces among female couples and 233 for male couples in the UK. (Ghosh, 2020)
• Moreover, the median duration of marriages for female couples is 4.1 years, and 4.3 years for male couples. (Ghosh, 2020)

The Rate of Divorce by Age

As the adage goes, maturity comes with age. And based on research, the same goes for the relationships of married couples. The divorce rate drops as people get older. After all, separating at a mature age can be damaging for couples. For instance, assets can be split between partners, which does not bode well for those who don’t have significant income. This could lead to a decline in wealth and living standards.

As such, investing in stocks should increase one’s personal wealth over time. Moreover, in this regard, getting good advice on money can come in handy.

• The average age of people undergoing a divorce for the first time is 30 years old. (McDowell, 2020)
• In addition, 60% of divorces involve partners who are between 25 and 39 years old. (Lake, 2021)
• Moreover, 60% of couples between the ages of 20 and 25 who marry end up getting a divorce. (Wilkinson & Finkbeiner, 2020)
• The age group most likely to get a divorce is 15-24 at 27%, followed by 25-34 (23%), 35-44 (21%), 45-54 (18%), 55-64 (12%), and 65 and older (5%). (Manning & Payne, 2020)
• African-American women who belong to the 50-59 age bracket are the group most likely to file for divorce. (McDowell, 2020)
• On the flip side, Asian-American women between 25 and 29 years old are the group least likely to file for divorce. (McDowell, 2020)
• Couples over 50 years old who get divorced lose around 50% of their wealth. (Steverman, 2019)
• Women over the age of 50 who get divorced may experience a 45% decrease in living standards. (Steverman, 2019)
• On the other hand, divorced men over the age of  50 tend to experience a 21% drop in living standards. (Steverman, 2019)

Divorce Rate by Age in Other Parts of the World

• UK women also have the 45-49 group as the bracket with the most divorces in 2019, with 10,946. They are followed by the age groups 35-39 (10,571),  40-44 (10,241), 50-54 (9,608), and 30-34 (8,169). (Yurday, 2021)
• Meanwhile, in Australia, the age group with the highest divorce rate for men is 45-49 with 9.2 divorces per 1,000 people. For women, the highest is the 40-44 bracket with 9.1 divorces per 1,000 people. (Budget Direct, 2019)

Divorce Rate by Years of Marriage

Transitioning from a romantic relationship to marriage is no cakewalk. There is the added pressure that couples are legally bound for life. More responsibilities, like having kids and sharing expenses, are also shouldered by the couple. With this, the first 10 years of a marriage are the hardest. And this is the case as well for those who get divorced within 12 years given that there is often a three-year period between a breakup and divorce.

• 20% of marriages end within the first five years and shoots up to 32% within 10 years. (Vinopal, 2021)
• On average, first marriages that end up in divorce last for eight years. (Wilkinson & Finkbeiner, 2020)
• Moreover, if divorced couples choose to remarry, they wait for an average of three years. (Wilkinson & Finkbeiner, 2020)

• On the other hand, only 25% of couples over 25 years old get divorced within 10 years. (Wilkinson & Finkbeiner, 2020)
• Meanwhile, in the UK, the median length of a marriage that ends up in divorce is 12.3 years. (Ghosh, 2020)
• In Australia, the average marriage length that ends up in divorce is 12 years. (Budget Direct 2019)
• Interestingly, the average length of first marriages in Australia is 8.3 years, which means that there is often a three-year gap between separation and divorce. (Budget Direct, 2019)

Marital Problems Contributing to Divorce

Any relationship faces its share of problems, and that’s normal. After all, people don’t usually see each other eye-to-eye in every regard. However, if serious concerns aren’t resolved quickly, they can escalate to cause harm to the marriage. With this, the importance of marriage counseling comes into view. Counselors get to the root of serious concerns and help couples resolve them. Some of them may even be using medical practice management tools to find solutions for you prior to appointments.

• The lack of commitment is the leading cause of divorces, with 75% of couples citing it as the reason for their separation. This is followed by infidelity (59.6%) and too much conflict and arguments (57.7%). Meanwhile,  some married couples divorce because of domestic violence (23.5%), financial problems (36.1%), and substance abuse (34.6%). (Shaw, 2019)
• Almost 50% of couples with one alcoholic partner end up divorcing. This figure drops to 30% if both partners are heavy drinkers. (McDowell, 2020)

• Furthermore, women who had six or more premarital sexual partners are three times less likely to have a stable marriage. (Wilkinson & Finkbeiner, 2020)
• Women who began their sexual activity when they were 13 or 14 years old are nearly 50% less likely to be in a stable marriage than those who did in their 20s. (Wilkinson & Finkbeiner, 2020)

Effects of Divorce on Children

Divorces lead to the loss of financial wealth in a home. What once was a joint effort to shoulder household expenses suddenly becomes a mostly singular burden. After all, many spouses evade child support. And this can lead to poverty if the custodial parent doesn’t earn sufficient income. But getting a divorce could be healthier than letting kids experience frequent messy squabbles between parents.

• Divorced spouses evade over 30% of child support payments, with less than 50% paid in full. (Leefeldt, 2019)
• Moreover, only 43.5% of custodial parents receive full support from their former spouses. (Leefeldt, 2019)
• In addition, more than $10 billion in child support payments in the US go uncollected. (Leefeldt, 2019)
• 26.5% of children below 21 years old have a parent living in a different home. This amounts to 21.9 million kids. (Grall, 2020)
• 30.1% of these kids are in poverty. (Grall, 2020)
• On average, the annual child support payment in the US is $5,519, or around $460 per month. Meanwhile, the median annual amount is $4,356. (Grall, 2020)
• The share of African-American kids whose parents live in a different home is 50% more than that of Caucasian kids faced with the same scenario. (McDowell, 2020)
• Happily married parents decrease their kids’ likelihood of divorce by 14%. (Wilkinson & Finkbeiner, 2020)
• Children of parents who fought a lot are more likely to get divorced themselves than kids with divorced parents. (McDowell, 2020)
• 67% of Americans believe that divorce is better for kids than them witnessing the problems in a troubled marriage. (McDowell, 2020)

Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Divorces

Many anticipated that the COVID-19 pandemic would be problematic for married couples. After all, 4 in 10 adults in the US reported signs of mental health issues during the pandemic (Panchal et al., 2021). Surprisingly, divorces dropped across nearly all US states. A survey even shows that couples deepened their bonds while on lockdown.

• The number of troubled marriages dropped from 40% in 2019 to 29% in 2020 during the pandemic. (Wang, 2020)
• Similarly, the number of divorces in Florida declined by 28%. (Steverman, 2021)
• But the biggest decline in divorces recorded among American States occurred in New Hampshire, with a decrease of 36.4%. (Manning & Payne, 2020)
• Conversely, divorces in Arizona increased by 9%. (Wang, 2020)
• 58% of married Americans admit the COVID-19 lockdown made them value their partner more. (Wang, 2020)
• With many employees working from home due to the pandemic, 50% of married US couples were able to spend more time with each other and have deepened their relationship. (Wang, 2020)
• 44% of people who increased their income during the pandemic revealed that COVID-19 did not cause stress to their marriage. (Wang, 2020)
• However, 45% of couples whose incomes declined state that the pandemic caused stress to their marriage. (Wang, 2020)
• Unfortunately, reports of domestic violence increased by 27% in Jefferson Country, Alabama, 22% in Portland, and 18% in San Antonio, Texas. (Boserup, 2020).
• In Saudi Arabia, the divorce rate increased by 30% during the lockdown period. (Barakat, 2020).
• And in the same way, the number of divorces in China surged by 10-20% (Chamadia, 2020).

How does social media use impact marriage stability?

Social media has increasingly influenced relationships, sometimes leading to issues that affect marriage stability. Here are some ways social media use can impact marriages and potentially contribute to divorce:

• Increased Risk of Infidelity: Social media platforms make it easier to reconnect with past partners or form new connections, which can lead to emotional or physical infidelity. Repeated interactions with others online can cause one partner to feel neglected or question the strength of their relationship.
• Privacy Invasions and Trust Issues: With access to each other’s online profiles, partners may find it challenging to maintain privacy, leading to mistrust or jealousy. Constantly checking a spouse’s activities or messages can fuel insecurities and erode trust in the relationship.
• Comparison with Idealized Relationships: Social media often presents idealized versions of people’s lives, causing partners to compare their marriage unfavorably with others. This can lead to dissatisfaction or unrealistic expectations, especially when comparing themselves to seemingly “perfect” couples.
• Time and Attention Distractions: Excessive time spent on social media can reduce quality time together. Partners may feel neglected or unimportant if one person is overly absorbed in their devices, affecting intimacy and communication.
• Financial Strain Due to Social Media Influences: Influencers or targeted advertisements may encourage impulsive spending, causing financial strain within the household. Disagreements over social media-inspired purchases can introduce financial stress, one of the primary causes of marital tension.
• Online Arguments and Public Conflicts: Disagreements aired publicly on social media can amplify marital issues. Couples may share or comment about each other in frustration, inviting outside opinions that worsen personal disputes.

How These Divorce Statistics Can Work for You

As a once-popular cartoon once said, “Knowing is half the battle.” And in the case of married couples, the other half revolves around keeping the relationship afloat. The stats reveal a decline in divorces and the trend appears to be further reinforced by the current pandemic. But this does not mean that couples should be complacent in their marital affairs. Problems like the lack of commitment, infidelity, and serious conflicts can still hound couples.

With this, couples must actively pursue to build good communication not just with their partners, but also with their kids. In this way, they can strengthen the ties that bind their marriage. They can also refer to these stats to know which habits and scenarios to avoid. As the numbers suggest, despite the plummeting divorce rate, many couples still struggle with their marriages.

In lieu of this, couples should also find ways to increase the household income for both individuals to decrease financial stress. It also allows parents to support the kids in case the marriage is leading to an impending divorce. Moreover, setting an appointment with a marriage counselor helps couples address deep-seated issues. Relationships lacking the so-called spark can be reignited in doing so.
