Abstract: Consistent with estimates of the marriage-to-divorce ratio for 2013, there were almost two marriages for every one divorce in the U.S. in 2014. Between 1970 and 2011, the marriage-to-divorce ratio has seen an overall decrease. However, since 2012, the overall trend is moving toward nearly two marriages per one divorce. Since 1970, 2011 had the lowest marriage to divorce ratio at 1.7 marriages for every one divorce.
