Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The decline in the divorce rate can be attributed to fewer Canadians getting married. With fewer marriages, there are fewer opportunities for divorces to occur. There is no evidence to suggest that couples began taking marriage vows more seriously or that the cost of divorce became a prohibiting factor. While negative impacts on children have been studied, there is no widespread evidence to suggest that this influenced the decline in the divorce rate.
