Americans 
have always been known for not-so-happy marriages, but 2007 saw a fall in the national per capita divorce rate to the lowest level since 1970. Divorce rates in the US started mounting in the late 60’s and peaked during 70’s and early 80’s. The highest rate was 5.3 divorces per 1,000 people in 1981. Now, more Americans prefer to remain seemingly united in conjugal bliss. Some say that the reason for a decline in divorce rate is that since families have two earners, they can afford a better standard of living, leading to less tension and lower chances of divorce. However, pessimists reiterate that marital relationships in the US are as unsteady as ever, but divorce rate is down because of a higher number of live-in relationships. It is believed that a change in mindset in resolving post marriage problems has contributed to the decline. A large population in the country is now open to professional advice for regenerating marital harmony.
