We have two charts. The first one is showing us the statistic of marriage and divorcing in each decade from 1970 to 2000 in the USA. The second one is demonstrating us the status of American people in 1970 and 2000.

Let's look at the first one. Here we can notice that in each decade people married more comparing to divorcing. In 1970 2,5 millions of Americans married, and only one million divorced. People married around two times more than divorced. The same thing at other decades. In 1980 2,5 million marriages and around 1,4 million cases of divorcing. At the next decade number of marriage was less than before. Around 2,3 million. But still, it is much more than divorcement that is between 1,1 million. The first decade of the 21st century have shown us the least number of marriage 2 million cases. Accordingly, the least number of breaking up situations. It is 1 million divorces.

If we look at the second one, in 1970 people married more frequently than after 30 years. In 1970 70 per cent of Americans were married. It is more than in 2000 to 10 per cents. Percentage of divorced citizens were almost zero. But after 3 decades this percentage increased to 10 per cents. Moreover, we can see that in 1970 around 15 per cent of Americans never married. But in 2000 this indicator raised to 20 per cents. The last statistic that we can see is the rate of widowed women. It is around 8 per cent in 1970 and around 6 in 2000.
