American Marrying Canadian
Marriage and divorce, Texas-style
People are more likely to marry, and divorce in Texas and the South than in other parts of the country, according to new census data released today.
Second marriages last longer here, partly because people remarry more quickly than elsewhere.
It's a cultural thing.
"You have a culture that is very pro-marriage," said Mark Regnerus, a sociologist at the University of Texas at Austin and author of "Country music is popular. The story line of country music is the quest for love, and if it doesn 't work the first time you return to the trough."
The latest statistics from the Survey of the 2009 American Community, an attempt to provide more information on marriage, divorce and widowhood and fill the void left at the National Center for Health Statistics stopped collecting information similar in 1996.
The report complements the detailed data to be released from the 2010 census, which provides a window on modern family life.
The Canadian government said last month it will stop collecting statistics on marriage and divorce, reflecting budget cuts and the changing nature of relationships, more people live together rather than marry.
But Diana Elliott, a family demographer for the U.S. Census Bureau, said it is important to understand marital trends and regional differences.
Demographers do not know how the recession has affected the rate of marriage and divorce if the data had been collected at the beginning of the decade, she said.
In all regions of the United States
The new data will also help assess the impact of federal policies such as healthy marriage initiative.
The report highlights what Elliott called "regional culture of marriage."
The median age at first marriage rose sharply nationwide, up from 28.4 for men and 26 years.5 for women in 2009 compared to 22.5 and 20.6 respectively in 1970.
But people in the north wait longer to marry and after a divorce, are less likely to remarry.
The South, including Texas, were married at a younger age and remarry more quickly.
