Why do you think the divorce rate is so high?

@monimathu 🙄

@Salix75 No the happiest people are couples who are still together into their old age. They overcame many obstacles together and did not abandon the marriage.

@Carazaa I'm not saying monogamy can't work, but the expectations people bring to marriage these days is unrealistic.

And I'm sure many long-time couples are happy (but I've never read any studies proving them to be the happiest) just as many aren't hapoy, but stuck it out for whatever reasons (the kids, religion, no other alternatives, etc)

@Salix75Happiest people from 1 most happy -5 unhappy

1. Married men

2. Single women

3. Married women

5. Single men

@Carazaa I've seen figures like that. Doesn't speak to duration of the marriage though, as per your previous statement.

And married women don't seem too happy...
