The bar charts provide information about marriage and divorce rates in eight countries between 1981 and 1994.

Overall, the statistics of marriages declined in all countries in the given period of time, except Denmark. Interestingly, the USA had the highest percentages both in marriage statistics and divorce statistics in 1981 and 1994. Italy, on the other hand, had the lowest point of divorce in comparison with other countries.

From 1981 to 1994, while the number of married people declined in the UK, Japan, Finland, France, and Italy, the proportion of divorced couples began to rise in those countries. The USA was the only country where the divorce statistics showed a downward trend (approximately from 5 to 4.5). Surprisingly, the divorce rates remained at around 2 points in Germany throughout the years.

By 1994, the married couple percentage rose roughly more than 1 point in Denmark (from 5 to 6.5), however, the number of divorced couples had slightly changed (from 2.5 to 2). Thus, it can be said that Denmark is the only country the percentage of married couples increased.
