There were twice
as many marriages as divorces in Missouri in 2000.
True
Yes, this is true. In the year
2001, 42,086 marriages took place and 23,458 divorces
occurred. This does not mean that half of all marriages
end in divorce because the people getting married in a single
year are not likely to be the same as those getting
divorced.
The marriage
rate has been declining over the past 10 years and the divorce
rate has also been declining slightly.
