We married at 21 and are still together after 59 years.No kids before marriage both had degrees we just loved each other from the beginning and still today.

When I graduated from High School in 1965( I know,Ancient times),the Senior High girls were sporting engagement rings and some were already pregnant. The rush to produce kids was all consuming. Gee,I wonder where they are now? I would hope many are still together,but the divorce rate was extremely high then.

I, too, read that. They also are choosing to have less children. There may be a more sinister reason behind this as well: they are one of the poorest, even if better educated generations, in many years, so becoming a team is a way to better survive.

Yes....it is interesting and a positive. Both of my sons got married within the past couple of months. Both couples lived together before marriage; all of them are educated. One couple met on line (just sayin'.

Fewer marriages = fewer divorces I would imagine

I would assume part of it is that less are getting married.. so the ones that do are really sure about it..

Isn't birth rates also decreasing?

So, lower divorce rates and lower birth rates? ?
