Even subtle things, like casual conversations after work, "keeping the peace" by avoiding an argument, or forgetting to say "thank you," can be detrimental to a relationship's long-term health, longevity, and happiness. In fact, many of the unintentional things that destroy marriages faster than cheating seem innocent in the moment, but end up sparking tension and resentment between partners that becomes impossible to ignore.

A Timeline of Divorce in America

Posted On: September 15, 2026

Divorce was once uncommon and highly stigmatized in the United States. Until the introduction of no-fault divorce in the 1960s and ’70s, states typically required one partner to prove the other’s misconduct by the other in a costly, complex process that often favored men. 

Attitudes—and laws—changed as the institution of marriage and gender roles have evolved. A July 2025 assessment by the Institute for Family Studies calculated that roughly 40 percent of first marriages end in divorce.

Here’s what American divorce looked like from the colonial era to the 21st century.

Gray Divorce: Why More Women Are Ending Marriages in Midlife

Posted On: September 08, 2026
Midlife divorce is one of the fastest-growing trends in America as women 50+ rethink the second half of life.

While overall divorce numbers have declined since reaching a peak in the early 1980s, in recent years they’ve begun to soar among one demographic: people 50 and up.

The numbers are revealing. Between 1990 and 2019, “gray divorce” jumped from nearly 9% to 36%. And just this year alone, nearly 40% of divorces were among Gen X’ers. It’s even higher for Boomers. A 2021 report from the U.S. Census Bureau finds that divorce rates for people 65 and up tripled during roughly the same time period.

Contact me at 631-277-8844 or cspirio@spiriolaw.com for a free no-obligation 15-minute initial consultation to find out how why gray divorce is becoming more common, and how I can help you.
