With far fewer people getting married, it seems like only those who wants to stay married get married in the first place. And then they don't divorce. Or put another way, people are splitting up (a form of divorce) without ever getting married, so the stats look good if you only track true divorces. I would like to see stats on poeple living together in a committed relationship, who then split. It seems more like people are rejecting the marriage certificate, but not everything else that comes with marriage (commitment, living together, children, etc). Maybe it's time to extend common-law marriage?
