Or... Fiction drives home unrealistic standards or extremes. I found the data to be dubious ofcourse. Just like we can extrapolate all sorts of nonsense from data - movies aabout relationships might not mean anything at all. Considering that life is 90% boring routine and fiction does not show or truly represent that boringness in order to sell the story. They need drama. Thats why writers wont write about a perfectly normal day with a couple talking about tiles for an hour dialog near the kitchen sink.

The movies served as means to make couples talk about their own relationsship. Check the questions from the PDF that I linked elsewhere here to get a better idea.

  > The movies served as means to make couples talk about their own relationship. Sure. The next one should be titled Taylor Swift lyrics decrease divorce rate by 45% but Nicki Minaj lyrics don't. I'm sure the methodology will hold up equally well. Marriage ad the strongest legally recognised relationship outside blood relations - needs interventions so that couples can talk. Is this an approximation of the problem statement? If it is, either no one really knows the problem or it is known but won't be touched with a 100ft pole since doing so will lead down the rabbit hole of disillusionment.

  These movies require you to use meta-cognition to reflect on why the main characters are doing what they're doing. They are a psychological antidote to the the hero's quest of unrequited love. If anything propagates the fiction of unrealistic standards it would be Disney movies.
