the divorce surge is over

.. guess in india it's only beginning
http://www.nytimes.com/2014/12/02/upshot/the-divorce-surge-is-over-but-the-myth-lives-on.html
But here is the thing: It is no longer true that the divorce rate is rising, or that half of all marriages end in divorce. It has not been for some time. Even though social scientists have tried to debunk those myths, somehow the conventional wisdom has held.
Despite hand-wringing about the institution of marriage, marriages in this country are stronger today than they have been in a long time. The divorce rate peaked in the 1970s and early 1980s and has been declining for the three decades since.
About 70 percent of marriages that began in the 1990s reached their 15th anniversary (excluding those in which a spouse died), up from about 65 percent of those that began in the 1970s and 1980s. Those who married in the 2000s are so far divorcing at even lower rates. If current trends continue, nearly two-thirds of marriages will never involve a divorce, according to data from Justin Wolfers, a University of Michigan economist (who also contributes to The Upshot).

Over generations, youth has learnt the high price to pay for divorce vs. hippies in 70s.
IMHO, any man or woman who can not live with any other man or woman does NOT have the mindset for the institution of marriage.
Criminals, Frauds aside.
Normal humans. I agree that "being human" is rare these days.
Keeping such exceptions aside, most spouses cannot even tell clearly what their issue is? [I had to listen to this shyt last month, and I just said - I aint a counselor by any means, but I fail to understand, you just want to vent, and I am all ears - unfortunately, thats all there is to it - someone who listens!]
Men or women, who are determined to attach much importance to their relationships - be it Mother, father, sister, brother - are more likely to attach to their spouse as well. A man with sister(s), or a woman with brother(s) has a higher chance to be rounded up, as a spouse, or respect towards opposite gender.

#1 reason for divorce in this world is?
Love?
Romance?
Nope.
Its money.
Kills the romance totally, doesn't it?
Marriages work because spouses sacrifice, and are not selfish.
If money is the #1 reason for divorce, one must question their definition of "love"?
G'nite,

Whenever some female - say secretary or other new co-worker - asks me if I am married, my stock answer - unfortunately yes.
