That’s only because if you don’t get married you won’t get a divorce.

RE: That’s only because if you don’t get married you won’t get a divorce.

Or maybe, the younger ones are simply not bothering with that piece of paper and simply choosing cohabitation.

What’s the point of the paper when just about any sort of “marriage” is acceptable? (Men with men and women with women, etc. )

I wonder how much so-called Medicaid divorces may be driving up the stat for older Americans...

Exactly. Moving out after shacking up doesn’t impact the divorce statistics.

Exactly. You beat me to it. No one gets married much anymore here.
That said I am and I am also gray and completely happy.
