I find many of the claims suspect. We should all know by now that 50% of marriages less than five years long end in divorce, but if you can get past the 5 year mark, the divorce rate drops off significantly. [0] Further, the divorce rate is falling, not rising, and for recent marriages, following the trend since the 1970s, the 50% claim is off by a half. Not that there isn't still room for improvement, but when an article starts off by siting a spurious fact, I've been lost as an engaged reader.
