Divorce Rate Rising

The United States Census Bureau reports that in 1920 there was one divorce for every seven marriages, in 1940 one divorce for every six marriages, in 1960 one divorce for every four marriages, in 1972 one divorce for every three marriages, and in 1977 one divorce for every two marriages. The divorce rate in the United States has continued to climb and it appears that there will soon, if not already, one divorce for every marriage. (The Divorce Myth by J. Carl Laney page 12).
