Divorce rates are definitely a huge problem in America right now. More and more people are getting divorced than ever before. Look at Kim kardashian, she was just married 2 months and she’s already getting a divorce. In America 50% of first marriages last and 65% of second marriages don’t. Nevada has the most known divorces. Most people go to Nevada to have a quick divorce and move on with their lives. It’s been proven that the younger a couple is to get married the more likely they are to get divorced. Race also makes a difference in our divorce rates. 11% of African American couples end in divorce, 10% of whites end in divorce, and 8% of Hispanics end in divorce. I think the reason our race plays a part in our divorce rates is because of our cultural differences. Every culture has some similar morals, yes, but the way we behave within our culture is not a different than other cultures. I think that it’s sad how many marriages end in divorce. It’s extremely heart breaking and sad for everyone involved. Especially the children. Growing up without having both parents in the same household is extremely difficult and all the arguing it causes gives the children stress, low self-esteem, they are also more likely to have problems with their relationships if their parents had problems. I know that my parents divorce did nothing but help me in a way. I fight with my parents all the time because of their divorce but their divorce makes me want to really try to make all my relationships work because I want to have a stable family someday and be happy. I don’t want to put my kids through any negative if I can help it. People need to really think about what they’re doing and weigh out the pros and cons of their decisions. Marriage is supposed to last a life time. Not just a few years or until someone decided to give up. Think about what you think you will want 10 years from then, and see if that matches up with your partner. If not, then you most likely will grow apart for wanting different things.
