Women are Getting Divorced After Shorter Marriages Today Than Previously
Women are getting divorced after shorter marriages today. Consider
the following:
-
Of women age 20-54, the median duration of marriage was 6.3 years in 1990.
-
Of younger women, women ages 25-29, the median duration was 3.4
years in 1990. This is down from 3.7 years in 1985 and 4.0 years in 1980.
-
Of women ages 30-34, the median duration was 4.9 years in 1990,
down from 5.2 years in 1985 and 5.5 years in 1980.
-
Of women ages 40-44, the median duration was 7.6 years in 1990,
down from 9.7 years in 1980.
("Median" means that half the marriages lasted longer, half lasted
shorter. It does not say anything about "how much longer" the longer
ones lasted, or "how much shorter" the shorter ones lasted.)
