I researched about marriage and divorce in America. I'm mainly focusing on divorce.
Book research
About 40% of first marriages in the United States end in divorce. Divorce in America is mostly associated with financial and emotional problems. Couples who have a divorce cope with emotional problems such as depression, loneliness, and fears for the future. They may feel failure as a spouse or parent if children are involved. If children are involved suffer differently from age, and gender. Children from divorced families tend to do more poorly in school and have more behavioral problems and often substance abuse. They can later experience problems in later development. Later marriages are more likely to end in divorce than first marriages.

Each year over 1 million children are effected from divorce. Most of the kids are victims of abuse or neglect. They exhibit more health problems, also behavioral and emotional problems. They will most like experiment with drugs and be involved with crimes. Kids who suffer from divorce also have higher rates of suicide. Children do worst in school, and most likely will skip or drop out. Children in jail are 12 times more to be from a divorced house hold. This article contains a lot of information on divorce and the effects of kids and teens to the age 18. Parents that suffer from divorce with children should read this article because the information if accurate. I can relate to it because I'm from a divorced house hold with step parents.
