It has been
reported that the divorce rate for military members has increased from
2.6 percent in 2001 to 3.6 percent in 2009. This is according to the
U.S. Department of Defense, especially since Operation Enduring Freedom
began.
A
member of the U.S. military in Birmingham, Alabama knows how difficult
it is to build a successful marriage, especially if you’re in the
military.
Corporal
Calvin Gray and his ex wife began dating just before he went to boot
camp. So basically, they were far apart most of the time. And because of
the time spent apart, the couple slowly drifted away from each other. A
painful truth that Corporal Gray had to accept.
In 2010, 7.8 percent of women in the military got a divorce while 3 percent of military men did.
But there’s good news.
The divorce rate hasn’t changed since 2010. There hasn’t been any
increase so far and this is definitely something to look forward to. One
of the reasons for this is the military’s recent stance to help
military families in strengthening their marriages.
In fact, marriage support programs are being offered by the military
and it has been revealed that couples attending such programs suffer
fewer divorces compared to those who do not.
