In the past decade, the divorce rate in our community has risen several times over.
This is broadly broken down into 3 groups (in decreasing prevalence)
1- Newly weds. 20s. 0-2.7 years of marriage
2- People who have been married for decades. 50s-60s. children are now teens/out of house
3- Some group in between.
Why is this happening?
Without going into a discussion of whether this is fact or not, our generation is accustomed to quick easy solutions.
For example, how many people do you know that were diagnosed with pre-diabetes or actual type 2 diabetes that will take the effort to make life changes, rather than just use pills?
Marriage requires work!
and despite
Not necessarily, it may be way better off for the kids to grow up with two loving, albeit separated, parents, than to grow up in a house where the parents hate each other.
If indeed the parents put in sincere work and effort, even if not always a peaceful household, it is better than divorced parents.
