The number one cause of divorce is obvious. It's not about money, or about kids, or infidelity, or any other domestic issue. The number one cause of divorce is marriage, as more than half of all marriages end in divorce.
Finally, more people are deciding to stay single or are waiting longer before plunging into the wacky world of matrimony.
Was it necessity that forced people to get married at age 14 in the early 1900s?
Was it brainwashing by parents and society that made marriage seem like the thing to do?
Family and societal expectations?
Or just a really bad habit? Marriage seems to be a habit that people can't seem to break, as many take the plunge more than once--multiple times, even?
At least now kids are waiting longer before they tie the knot. Is it culture that has taught us that we are supposed to get married after high school or college and blissfully settle down with our "soul mates" to have 2.5 children and a white picket fence--only for more than half of those matches made in Heaven to dissolve in bitter divorces years later.
