More than a quarter of white men (26.9%) married an Asian woman, and about 6.9% married a black woman.In contrast, 20.1% of white women married a black man, while just 9.4% married an Asian man.White wife/Black husband marriages are twice as likely to divorce by the 10th year of marriage compared to White/White couples, while White wife/Asian husband marriages are 59% more likely to end in divorce compared to White/White unions.However, a 2009 study a year later by Yaunting Zhang and Jennifer Van Hook on behalf of Journal of Marriage and Family using a larger sample size than the previous study produced different results with Asian female/White male marriages shown as the least likely to divorce of any marriage pairing.Love can come in all different shapes, sizes, and colors, so you never know when it’s going to strike.
a pairing between a black husband and white wife is 1.62 times more likely to divorce than a pairing between a white husband and white wife.Comparisons across marriage cohorts revealed that, overall, interracial couples have higher rates of divorce, particularly for those that married during the late 1980s.The authors found that gender plays a significant role in interracial divorce dynamics: According to the adjusted models predicting divorce as of the 10th year of marriage, interracial marriages that are the most vulnerable involve White females and non-White males relative to White/White couples.In terms of out-marriage, Hispanic males who identified as White had non-Hispanic wives more often than other Hispanic men.The table shows that among whites who out-married in 2008, there were different patterns by gender in the race of their spouses.
