The Divorce Surge Is Over, but the Myth Lives On (2014)
It&#x27;s not a myth.  The article even points out what&#x27;s really going on, but they only dedicate at most a paragraph to it: people aren&#x27;t getting married as much.  The overall marriage rate has fallen, and people are waiting longer than ever to get married, if they even do.  The percentage of the population that&#x27;s single is higher than ever.<p>So sure, the divorce rate has fallen, but if your goal is a society where people are in stable marriages, we&#x27;re farther from that goal than ever.  Traditional marriage is slowly dying as an institution.<p>Personally, I think we&#x27;d all be a lot better off if we adopted open and polyamorous relationships in a large way. They&#x27;re better for resource-sharing and avoid the problem with thinking that your partner has to satisfy you in every way.
