    The charts illustrate the quantity of US inhabitants in marital

    status in some different aspects, especially in marriages and


    divorces between 1970 and 2000. Looking from an overall
    perspective, it is readily apparent that marriages decreased while
    divorces remain stable. Furthermore, the figure for married
    couples dominated throughout the period.

    Considering the statistics, Americans who never married and


    married experienced an inverse trend. The former rose precisely
    5% from 15% (in 1970) to 20% (in 2000) whereas the latter
    established the highest at 70% before a slight dip to 60% in
    2000. Moreover, the widowed and the divorced were under 10%
    during the period.

    Additionally, marriages remained stable at 2,5 million from


    1970 to 1980, the data experienced a slight decrease to
    approximately 2 million in 2000. Besides, the divorces
    accelerated roughly 1,5 million (in 1970) and went down to 1
    million when completing the period.
