Maybe. I've just been looking at the UK stats and the divorce rate for <35s has dropped like a stone. It was fairly steady up until the early 90s then has plummeted to a quarter of that level. In contrast, the rate for 35+ peaked in the early 90s then has dropped by a quarter. This can't be explained by healthcare as marriage has very little effect on that in the UK. Could still be financial, of course, and could also be job security related though probably more related to housing than healthcare. But that's just speculation on my part. Have to say, I don't think I've ever looked at the divorce stats before (never had a reason) but they're fascinating. For example, the number for men petitioning for divorces has remained pretty constant since the Divorce Reform Act in 1971. The number of women petitioning, though, ballooned through the 80s and 90s and has now dropped back to about the level in 1971. No idea why but interesting nonetheless.
