Divorce Statistics - How to avoid divorce

Hi, This is Nate Grage for True Love Divine Love, and in this video I?m going to talk to you about the Divorce Statistics (Sound of Crickets). But don?t worry, it's going to be Great and have a happy ending (Sound of Cheers!). Stay Tuned!!! [rock music] Hi Guys. Let's talk about divorce statistics. We've all heard that the divorce rate in America is around 50%. And just recently, the US Bureau of Labor Statistics for the first time since it's 1976 inception, measured that there were more single people in the US today than married people. According to divorcestatistics.org, the highest percentage of divorce occurred in couples that married before they turned 30. Of those divorcing couples, those who married between the ages of 20 and 24 had the highest divorce rate. Sadly, 45-50% of first marriages end in divorce, whereas 60 to 67% of second marriages end in divorce, and if you thought that third marriages had an even worse chance of success, you win a gold star 70-73% of those marriages end in divorce. So here it appears that the third time is definitely not a charm! Ok, OK, I know statistics, especially these statistics are boring and somewhat depressing. And some of you may have already thought of Mark Twain who said, There?s lies, damn lies, and statistics. But surely most of us who have grown up in America know that marriages don't have the mileage that perhaps they should. Now I'm not going to get on a soap box here. [Sound of a needle being pulled off a record]. Actually, yes I am! From a practical perspective, most divorce should be entirely unnecessary! I say should be, because people should not need to use it. Why do I say this? Because people need to spend more time getting to know who they decide to marry. But In America, that rarely happens. We are bombarded with a media message that tells us from day one that we need to be in some sort of relationship , we need to be married. We are sold on the idea that we need to have someone who's attractive. Because of this pressure, most of us don?t wait too long before we get physical [sound of "Physical" By Olivia Newton-John]. Once we've done this: gotten physical, we experience this feeling that we think is love, but in many cases is just the chemical cocktail that comes from a steady sex partner. This *** mask often blinds us to the true character of our lover. We overlook imperfections in character, and we think sometimes that we can change this person. In addition, many people in the west are pretty afraid of astrology. They either don't believe it or think it is of the devil, so they don't spend time actually getting to know what a persons personality would be based on their zodiac sign and all the things that make up their star chart. Because of this we get a lot of star-crossed lovers. [sound of losers-horn] Now I will add that divorce is actually necessary, because people do need the ability to remove themselves from bad relationships. You see, we need an escape clause from being improperly yoked. The problem is that we just overuse it. Now here?s another statistic: In the US 65 to 70% of divorces are filed by women. Now, as a disclaimer, I?m not talking about cases of physical or mental abuse, substance abuse, or infidelity. I?ll call these crucial reasons for getting a divorce. For the remaining causes of irreconcilable differences, I think the majority of women here are just giving up. I think they are being lazy, selfish, and impatient and they are just using divorce as a way to rectify the situation. Now here?s another important statistic. The Institute for American Values did a survey that found on average most people who were in unhappy marriages that divorced were no happier five years later. Whereas those couples who were unhappily married, but stayed married were happier five years later. Sure, you can argue that there is bias in this survey. But countless saints and sages can attest to the fact that happiness is an inside job, and outside factors although they do have an impact, they are really negligible in comparison to our own internal maintenance of happiness. So all you married ladies [?Single Ladies? by Beyonce]who are thinking about dumping your husband for non-crucial reasons, or because you just don?t feel you are in love with him anymore; I think you are making a big mistake. Especially if you have children! Alright Already! I'm not going to throw any more statistics at you, but children and parents do better when they keep the home intact! Being a householder is tough work, but even more so when you have children who are relying on you to help them grow into happy and healthy adults. So if you?re unhappily married; give it some time. And start ,you know, putting your spouse before you. Start putting others before you and see how that makes you a happier person. Or if you are an un-married guy and still on the safe-side, slow things down and take your time to invest in getting to know whomever you are dating. Our nation, the next generation of children, and the world in general need more people to make wiser and better decisions in the marriage arena.
