First, fewer people overall are getting married, instead either choosing to remain single or to live together without being married. Another reason for the improved divorce rate is that it has become more socially acceptable to get outside help, so more couples are seeking counseling before deciding to divorce. In addition, socially-expected roles based on gender have become more flexible, which could also lead to fewer conflicts within a marriage.
