Lets blame males: Fewer women are seeking divorce as men behave less badly: Number of wives seeking split drops by half since the mid 1980s

Comment that made me chuckle, courtesy of "John Tunstall":

"I really wanted to remarry the woman I divorced years ago, but she said I was only after my money."

... or women are reading the tea leaves and seeing the shitty lives of other divorced women as they age, hit the wall, become alone and live a lower quality of life after alimony/child support dries up if they can't con a man with a decent pay check into providing, provisioning, and protecting them.

I wonder how much of this has to actually do with the shitty economy and fewer men willing to marry. It's hard enough for your average woman to get married once, never mind twice.

The declining rate of marriage means the people likely to be married are ones who's personal values (such as religion) insist on it.

"They argue that some men have caught up with expectations of equal division of domestic labour, which causes less conflict."

Yup, sounds about right.

This is rubbish and a good example of how the misuse of statistics that are lacking objectivity are easily debunked.

Marriage Rates have declined hugely over the last 30 years, http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/7314435.stm

It's a no brainer to see that this would also impact on the opportunities to divorce if there is less married people in the first place.

Less marrieds means less divorces per the general population.

Marriage rates have plummeted.
Perhaps now women only wed when they can actually snag an alpha - to whom they stay wed?
