What are the current divorce rates for marriage in the west?
821759
If you're under the age of 30 and your spouse in under the age of 30, you have less than 50% chance of surviving more than 1 year.  That's pretty staggering, wish I had a source for this... but it's something I read a number of years ago... I'm sure the rates of success have fallen with what the world has become...

So you would like to find a better argument than those you have listed above?  And you are going to throw a few vague statistics up here about hetrosexual divorce rate and an entertainment show called Desperate Houswives and some kid on Yahoo being a moron? as reasons why the instution of marriage is eroded and why it makes people who belive in it hypocritical? \n\nIf you come on one of these forums and place a question like this I suggest respecfully that you need to be more informed as to some of the reasons it might erode traditional marriage. Here are some actual facts and their sources that might serve to renew your faith in hetrosexual marriage.\n\nThe Percentage of Divorces in the USA as reported by the US Census Bureau for the year 2005 is  38%... .......(not 50 as you listed)\nIn the USA 14500 persons died of Aids in 2005\nIn the USA 1.4 million people are infected with aids of who 1.02 million are GAY,( the rest are infected by needle sharing and blood transfusions, hetrosexual couples are in this group)\nWorldwide, 3.3 million died of Aids in 2005 and the number is expected to increase.\nAccording to the LA times Gay couples are 50% more sexually active with more than one partner than hetrosexual couples.\nBy including Gay couples into Private Medical Insurance the cost to individual single and married couples would rise from an average or 350 / month to 840/month ( the amount that comes out of your paycheck each month would depend on how much the particular company you work for subsidized your medical Insurance (for instance right now I pay 120/mo and company pays 212))\nUS Medicare system says it would need an infusion of at least 12 billion to cover the costs of AIDS treatment of the Gay community, if an amendment to this effect did not pass medicare payments to current users would have to be reduced by 35%.\nDo you realize how much that would affect our parents and relatives who depend on Medicare for their health care?\nFor that matter, it would fall on us as children to start to cover their medical costs and with ever smaller paychecks.\n\nStill think voting for the institution of marriage is a bad thing???\n\nHere is the link to commentary on one of the main gay marriage advocates position and why it may be a bit faulty, its an interesting read. There are also some other things on this page that might interest you\n\nhttp://www.taemag.com/issues/articleID.19248/article_detail.asp\n\nOh, and just for the ones who think I am one of your Bible thumpers or something, I am an East Indian, Hindu, (not Christian) and my marriage was arranged. But I am a US Citizen

Yes and no based on why those events took place. Marriage appears to be the way of life in the society so most of us are getting married. That is the divine way to continue the  life cycle. Divorce is a result of modern civilization. If purpose of life is to have peaceful life and then for some divorce may be a solution.

Fifty percent is the number everyone quotes. Basically 50% of all marriages end in divorce.\n\nThis figure is misleading because it does not really have a separate accounting for people who get married more than once.\n\nFor example - say you have three people. Two get married and stay married. The third gets married twice and divorces each time.\n\nThe result is that 50 percent of the marriages in that situation ended in divorce - even though only 33% of the people in that situation actually went through a divorce.\n\nThe REAL question that most people have in mind when they ask this is 'what percentages of first time marriages end in divorce.' I think that number is around 25-30%.\n\nSo its not that bad.

I really don't have an answer to your question but am answering because I see the regular morons are in here too...\n\n"Divorce cases are high in the world..."\n\nThe Western world does not constitute the world so let us not be xenophobic.  Asian culture as well as African continent has the lowest divorce rates and its NOT because the woman does not have the guts to stand up to her husband.  Its because they are happy together.\n\nAs sister Muslimah said, once you've found that special person, you have to work at making it succeed.  It won't work all by itself.

I dont know where you got your data, but I will answer on the part of ramifications..\n\n\nSomeday soon, you might wake up to the call to prayer from a muezzin. Europeans already are. \n\nAnd liberals will still tell you that "diversity is our strength"—while Talibanic enforcers cruise Greenwich Village burning books and barber shops, the Supreme Court decides sharia law doesn’t violate the "separation of church and state," and the Hollywood Left decides to give up on gay rights in favor of the much safer charms of polygamy. \n\nIf you think this can’t happen, you haven’t been paying attention to demographics. All one has to do is watch and see what is going on in Europe, & Australia and much of the pacific rim. A radical Islam wave is changing the way the rest of those populations conduct law, and the freedoms they would otherwise enjoy.\n\nThe future, belongs to the fecund and the confident. And the Islamists are both, while the West—wedded to a multiculturalism that undercuts its own confidence, a welfare state that nudges it toward sloth and self-indulgence, and a childlessness that consigns it to oblivion—is looking ever more like the ruins of a civilization. \n\nIn the ongoing conflict between the West and Islam, both the demographics and the will to power favor the Islamists. That a country like Spain for example, with a birth rate of 1.15 children per adult women, will extinguish itself in a few generations, while immigrants from countries such as Pakistan (birth rate 4.53) will move in to fill the vacuum. \n\nToday an aggressive, unassimilated minority edges closer to a majority (as in France, with an estimated 30% Muslim population in the under 20 age group), the character of the democratic institutions will become more closely aligned with Islamic law and culture.
