2024 The Future of Love: Trends and Insights from Relationship Data in Online Dating & Divorce
Every Friday we are going to bring you new numbers to keep you up today with the new data and the latest news in life, love, marriage and family.
We promise, there won’t be a lot of math.
This week, Icons told me they were interested in a new dating manual for those who aren’t married yet. And I am ready to deliver for 2024.
I know what you are thinking. Yes, we have our marriage book coming, too.
We work hard to answer your needs and we want to also make sure that what we tell you is accurate. A lot of social media influencers focus on drama, gender wars or data so they can sell you something.
We don’t do that here. We will give you the data as it is coming out and let you know what we plan to do to continue to be a resource for you.
For example, lots of individuals are dating online these days and Pew Research is doing work to explore the ups and down of using the internet to find love.

Forbes Divorce Stats 2024
We have data that tells us that divorce stats aren’t what they seem circulating online. This list is not exhaustive, but you can find all the charts, graphs and links in the Forbes article, “Revealing Divorce Statistics in 2024, written by Christy Bieber, J.D. and reviewed by Adam Ramirez, J.D. on Jan 8, 2024.”
And you should ask your popular influencers and pundits why they aren’t telling the latest.
Key takeaways from the new report:
People still believe in marriage with 64% of men and 52% of divorces still wanting to get married again.
Divorce data use to look at women but now with gay marriage, the way divorce rates are calculated are changing.
The Divorce rate is decreasing from 4.0 to 2.5 since the 2000.

Interesting updates that man slightly differ from current discussions online. Make sure you do your part and look at the data yourself and never take it, even from us, at fact. You must become knowledgeable in this stuff too to secure your social empire.
Most Common reasons For Divorce in this Forbes Article:
75% of individuals and couple cited lack of commitment as the reason for divorce exceeding even infidelity.
60% report Infidelity
Domestic Abuse prompts 24% of Cases
Basic Incompatibility and Money Issues Are Among the Top Reasons for Divorce
Couples divorce for many other reasons as well. Other than a lack of commitment or infidelity, here are three of the top causes of divorce.[12, 13]
58% of couples report arguing and excess conflict
45%of divorcing couples indicate they married too young
38% report financial problems as a divorce cause
Money no longer is the top reason for divorce.
Summary
Looking at the data the trend for divorces is actually going down even when you look at the overwhelming reason being lack of commitment.
Dating and marriage with intentionality can help us with that one. Money doesn’t seem to be the top concern anymore because, in my opinion, couples are now pooling resources and/or remaining single. A lot of marriages are also down.
As we look up the downward trends for divorce coupled with the downward trends in the childbirth rate in some communities, we can see a shift is taking place in the area of family and marriage life.
Iconic will be here as a continued resource giving you all the latest data in life, love, marriage and family regardless of what that information tells us so that you can have the truth and be free in it.
Remember to share this information far and wide so we can help others come together and build our Iconic community as the #1 Hub for Marriage Success and Empower.

The Iconic Story:
On October 1, 2022, I, Marriage Coach Nicole Pinkston launched the Iconic Media organization to empower men and women to build social empires that thrive.
Thriving is different from lasting. We don't just want to couple people up, we want couples that are flourishing, building generational wealth and lasting in love, marriage, family and in their lives.
Social empires are our family structures set up to maintain our families and our legacy regardless of the society around us. And we are in trouble, because our structures are crumbling.
We aim to change that!
I have been married for 12 years and it has not always been easy. Even with being a combat veteran and a trained soldier, marriage was tough in the beginning for us, even with Biblical principles in mind.
