Oil Crash, end of Keynesian golden era of American Hegemony, as well as the first children of the Sexual Revolution getting married, less expectation to stay with shitty partners.

Female labor participation
Freer women's right
With greater freedom comes greater responsibilities. Thus more stress, family feuds, less time for family gathering, bonding, etc

Appears to have no influence on this graph.

Joking aside Jews are literally responsible for the destruction of the nuclear family
Joseph Rodriguez
Jews are responsible for the status your inferior race has been surviving this whole time.

no-fault divorce laws
>With a law adopted in 1969, California became the first U.S. state to permit no-fault divorce. California's law was framed on a roughly contemporaneous effort of the non-governmental organization National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws, which began drafting a model of no-fault divorce statute for states to consider in 1967.

The nuclear family is meme from post-war America that didn't exist prior to it

1970 is truly when a hellmouth opened in the United States. Everything that's gone wrong starts in that cursed decade.

Hell. Extended families where there were 3 people to a room and grandma could hear you fucking next door at any given time

It is a generational thing. The cohort that grew up in the late 60's/70's divorces much more than those that came before it and those that came after. They are the cohort of the Sexual Revolution, so their values are very different from those of the generations that came before it.
That cohort also has some records in terms of death by sadness, that is overdoses, suicides and deaths due to alcoholism.
There is also the issue of wrong expectations of marriage. There was this ideology of a fairy-tale marriage based on passionate love. Which is unrealistic. Marriage can't provide that. Marriage can provide you a stable environment to raise a family and a partner for life. It can't provide you a Disney fairytale.

The Left's destruction of the family that began in the 60's had its first calamities in the 70's.
Blake Sullivan
shitty hippies basically mortally wounded the nuclear family through selfish thinking hedonistic ideology, marriage rates are also currently less than they were in the 70-80's while the population has exploded

How could the Left "destroy" the family in the 60's when the nuclear family was already the artificial result of the 50's? It's ridiculous how you people think that the nuclear family was some divinely mandated form of social organization when it never existed till after WWII.

The No-Fault divorce was introduced in 1969

You just proved his point. Postwar conservatism gave way to the nuclear family and 15 years later a bunch of leftist hippies and cuck president who invented welfare set it back further than where we started.
