Hi Friends.

When marriage rate is low, partners often separate without the formality of divorce.
e.g. Jamaica, where divorce rate is 0.44 per 1000. Guatemala 0.12, Belize 0.17 and Mongolia 0.28 are countries with the lowest divorce rate.
Thanks.

I think the number one reason the divorce rate is so high is that we have become a society of selfish individuals. The majority of the people in the world care more about themselves than anything else on this world.

Hello,It's important to note here that Andersen wasn't looking at popular opinion polls -- what people think causes divorce or even what people are willing to tell a telephone survey caused their own divorce. He was looking at sociological research that had some intellectual rigor and scientific controls. He wanted to determine whether money could be singled out as a predictor of divorce, rather than something most married couples struggle with.
