Divorce – Effects On Children, Effects On Couples, Effects On Parents

One instructive means of thinking about divorce is to consider divorce not as a single event that influences people’s lives, but rather as a process. This conceptualization of divorce suggests that the manner in which divorce ultimately affects children involves a confluence of factors and processes that occur early in the divorce, as well as processes occurring after the divorce.

Reasons for Divorce

According to the Center for Disease Control’s National Vital Statistics Report of 2002, 50% of first marriages ended in divorce and 60% of remarriage end in divorce. But, the Center for Disease Control also found that 96% of Americans express a personal desire for marriage, and almost three-quarters of Americans believe marriage is a lifelong commitment. I imagine that there are somewhat similar statistics worldwide.
