Number of marriages: 2,327,000

Marriage rate: 8.4 per 1,000 total population

Divorce rate: 4.0 per 1,000 population (46 reporting States and D.C.)

About 50% of first marriages for men under age 45 may end in
divorce, and between 44 and 52% of women's first marriages
may end in divorce for these age groups. The likelihood of a divorce
is lowest for men and women age 60, for whom 36 % of men
and 32 percent of women may divorce from their first marriage by
the end of their lives. A similar statistical exercise was performed in
1975 using marital history data from the Current Population Survey
(CPS). Projections based on those data implied that about one-third of
married persons who were 25 to 35 years old in 1975 would end their
first marriage in divorce.

oh no
it cant be
what I had
is no more
out of my hands
without a chance
this one is lost
I cannot believe
could it happen
to me
my world no more
helpless I feel
my thoughts listless
my mind worthless
trapped
I yell
I scream
no answers
they do not understand
this feeling I feel
chained in this cell
I used to call
home
