When I went through my divorce my one friend said to me "well statistics say it was going to be you or me" but why should it be this way? It's far too easy to get married these days and it's even easier to get divorced. Maybe if it was more difficult to get divorced people would think long and hard about getting married in the first place.

I don't feel like finding the statistics but I think the trend is towards marriages lasting longer. The generation that grew up with divorced parents or friends who went through the same are defying the divorce trend while the increases in the divorce rate today is driven from older couples, seniors and boomers.
