Part 2/12:
For decades, American family patterns have been in flux, with marriage rates falling and divorce rates rising. However, new data suggests that these trends may be reversing. According to the Institute for Family Studies, the divorce rate in the United States has fallen to a 50-year low, indicating a significant decline since previous peaks in the 1980s and 1990s. Simultaneously, the proportion of children growing up in two-parent, married households has increased after years of decline.
