ENTRY 35 THE DIVORCE RATE

The great myth about divorce is that marital break up is an increasing threat to Latin families, with each generation finding their marriages less stable than those of their parents. I have read that the story of ever-increasing divorce is a powerful narrative. It is also wrong. In fact, the divorce rate has been falling continuously over the past quarter-century, and is now at its lowest level since 1970. While marriage rates are also declining, those marriages that do occur are increasingly more stable. For instance, marriages that began in the 1990s were more likely to celebrate a 10th anniversary than those that started in the 1980s, which, in turn, were also more likely to last than marriages that began back in the 1970s.
The facts are that divorce is down, and today’s marriages are more stable than they have been in decades.
Family is very important for us.Do not believe about what other people may tell you.
