The United States is now enjoying the lowest divorce rate in 37 years. Experts<br />

attribute this to many things, perhaps most importantly to the fact that couples are on<br />

average waiting much longer -- five years longer -- to marry now than they did in 1981.<br />

Statistically, couples who are better educated, or older when they first marry, have the<br />

lowest divorce rates. Also, marriages with two working spouses have a lower divorce<br />

rate than "traditional" marriages where the wife is not employed outside the home.<br />

Overall, the divorce rate is between 40% and 45% of all marriages. In the 1980s it was<br />

nearly 50%.<br />
