Swiss Statistics (http://www.bfs.admin.ch/bfs...)
The Swiss Statistics Administration has compiled information showing U.S. divorce rates at significantly higher levels than the E.U. 15. Data provided by the aptly named Swiveler ch-data. —Grizzo

I should also be good to perhaps show the marriage rates per country as well, because it may be that Europe has a lower rate because they don't bother getting married there in the first place.

Here are the figures for the marriages: http://www.swivel.com/graph...

But be careful in interpreting these data: This are figures valid for a certain year and not times series. A lot more analysis is needed!

I combined the new data you uploaded and the data in this featured graph. Seems that it might not be so far fetched to say that we experience more divorce because we marry more frequently.

Cool stuff ch-data. Maybe this is worth seriously studying more.

Can we get a comparison with those in each country who consider themselves religious?

No matter what you want to compare the numbers to, it is still disapointing to see such a large number of marriages failing here in the United States, or anywhere for that matter.

can this data even be backed up? Plus these are comparing diffrent counterys to diffrent years. This is not valid research.
