Bill,
Good!
What I was reacting to - as you know - is the
deliberate attack on marriage as a sometime thing. Marriages and divorces in a
year are supposed to show that marriage is on the rocks.
You seem to adopt my attitude. When in doubt,
count.
Since you came in to the discussion so well, I think I
am going to broadcast the appalling statistic that half of all marriages end in
death!
That should stop people from getting
married.

Young Adults Were Postponing
Marriage _ The proportion of
divorced persons increased markedly at the national level in
recent decades, but the increases were not the same for all
areas of the country. In fact, by 1990, sharp regional and
State differences were noted in the prevalence of divorce
(see map). _ One measure often used
to highlight the differences in the level of divorce is the
divorce ratio, defined as the number of divorced persons per
1,000 married persons living with their
spouse. _ The West had the
highest divorce ratio of any region in 1990, with 182
divorced persons per 1,000 persons in intact marriages. In
contrast, the Northeast had the lowest ratio (130 per
1,000). The ratios for the South and Midwest were 156 and
151, respectively. _ Not surprisingly,
Nevada led the States in 1990 with the highest divorce ratio
(268 per 1,000), more than double the ratio for North Dakota (101), with the
lowest.
If you divide all divorces by all marriages, you get a higher figure. I'm
looking for that.
Bill
