re: How many of us are products of a divorced family?

That's so difficult to believe.

I believe it and it makes sense if you think about it. Back in the boomer generation a woman was considered a spinster if she wasn't married by age 24, so people often married the first person they could find. Also, a ton of dudes in the Vietnam era married a random chick just so he could dodge the draft. This all resulted in a ton of divorces once divorce became more socially accepted in the 80's.

Now fewer people marry at all, and they are marrying at older, more mature ages now as well. This results in a lower divorce rate.
