Divorce rates at 50% (contrary to the statement in the article) are not my way really. This is the way of the society today.

- JoeAltmaier 12y agoHa! Divorce rates are because of serial-marriers. The great majority of marriages last a long time; the stat comes from the tail of careless, impulsive people who don't respect the institution. 'Society' doesn't get married; individuals do. You can do it your way, you don't have to care one whit what 'society' does.
- byEngineer 12y agoWe are social animals. We shouldn't ignore statistics that show us the society is sick. In my old country (Poland) just 20+ years ago divorces were almost unheard of. Today they are almost as close to the 50% as in the USA. Now stating it is all about individuals and totally ignoring what is wrong with the system, isn't a solution (imho). Why my parents generation with (mostly) stay at home moms and dads working simple manual jobs, got married in early 20s and made happy couples in a rate of 90%+. Why they had 2+ children vs. one that we can afford. I guess that would be very interesting to look at this.
