Sociological Factors Causing Diversity

In America, the rates of different races are different in marriage, but what sociological factors might be causing this diversity It is statistically stated that in 2001, 43.3 percent of black men and 41.9 percent of black women in America had never been married, in contrast to 27.4 percent and 20.7 percent for whites. So, all in all, this comes to the question, how have we gotten here? I thought that perhaps religion could have played into this, because certain religions require you to stay in your marriage for the sake of showing your loyalty to God. But another social factor that plays into this is having support from your peers, meaning everyone that is included in your life. So by this, it means that you are more likely to stay in a marriage if you are happier and have people around you supporting you. But the last social factor that could play a huge role in marriage is money. You need money in order to have a safer and better-off marriage, and this can change the difference in marriage rates for anyone.
