Sorry.  I agree.  Fun is definitely part of life and part of marriage.

I am not so sure about that. When I seen Dan talk at the seminar about the trips with his wife and first child his face just lit up. I could be wrong but it sure seems he had fun on those trips.
he wasnt referring to dan's communities

So is there fewer marriage breakups in places where the couple live together a few years before getting married?

Rhetorical question, I'm assuming.

Not entirely fair.
You can put together any boy and girl that have been through the same orthodox system and they'll probably have a decent marriage because their life goals are aligned.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

If you live together and don't get married and you split up is that not a break up?

I read that statistically, a couple that lives together before marriage is more likely to get a divorce.
counterintuitive, but there waas an article explaining the findings.

R' Akiva Tatz explains that when a couple live together before marriage, the woman puts herself at a disadvantage. The man naturally would find it very difficult to get/stay married to a woman that has already given him everything. Basically, since the only thing that marriage adds to the relationship is responsibilities that the man never had/wanted.

Whats the difference aside that one never had morals of commitments and the other one does, emotionally it's the same thing.

That's kinda the  point.  Without the real commitment of marriage, there's holding back.  So it's less likely to survive.  If they marry after living together their expectations of change are unrealistic, so they  are more likely to divorce than those that never lived together.

Let's look at the non Jewish world, where people date for years, and not only date, but "test drive" for years sometimes, before getting married, which lasts only a year or so.
This it's a more and more common trend.
It proves that before one is officially bound together (= harder to break up) people often do their best to be nice, considerate, etc, but once it's confirmed, they stop, with the expected results.

Bottom line: dating 3x ?  Not enough. Dating intensively a few weeks vs a year?  No real difference.

There is no way you can compare the two. There are hundreds of different variables involved. You also have to look at the reason one stays married among different groups. If you want to be fair you have to look within the same group for results. If you look at the divorce rate among Roman Catholics not so long ago I would guess it would have been the same as the Orthodox Jews.

Rav Avigdor Miller Zatzal said that the rate is rising among frum ppl because of the hashpaa of the velt, as has been mentioned here before. People think that everything should go their way, other ppl should change, if its not comfortable then just end it.

Except that Roman Catholics aren't supposed to get divorced, whereas Jews who have a real* issue are pushed to get divorced.

He responds to any issues anyone mat have with what he wrote in a clear manner.
He seems very one sided here, though I can see him making a complete 180 if new details warranted it.
