Major New Study On Divorce Rates

For 30 years there has been one divorce for every two marriages in America. This 50% divorce rate has appeared to be granite that could not be chipped. There has been no proven strategy for reducing the divorce rate across a community, until now.

However, a major new study will be released at 10 a.m. April 5, at the National Press Club with evidence from more than 100 counties that clergy who cooperate across denominational lines can create a "Community Marriage Policy®" that cuts the divorce rate by 17.5% over seven years. That is nearly double the decline of comparable counties in each state with no plan to save marriage, whose divorce rate fell 9.4% in the same period.
