Sorry, should that not read

the fact it still stands at 42% should be worrying enough. There was some research done recently as to why that was - apparently the economic climate has lead to people not divorcing due to the large costs involved! So wait for us to return to growth and watch that divorce rate get ever higher!

It's in decline, and has been for the past 11 years.

Last time I looked, the economic climate was rudely healthy up until 2010 when it all came dancing down.

Last time I did maths, 42% was a lower proportion than 45%

Surely it is only costly to one party? My brother and his now ex wife divorced and despite it all being her fault (documentable evidence to show this) he had to pay for everything and still is.

My friend divorced from his wife for nothing. The went out, realised their marriage was over and discussed how they'd split their possessions and how they'd work out visitations rights.

2 years later, quick, non attended, court hearing and they were divorced.

Divorce isn't expensive per se, it's expensive when people get litigious, full of hatred and revenge.

Ah, sounds like you have met my brother's ex wife?

Also do the maths - 42% is a hell of a lot higher than it used to be back in the day....

LOL I have gay friends and none of them are concerned about the ability to get married in fact it was more the recognition of legally being together that most sought

My friends are. Two of my gay friends (different couples) have got married in the US.

Don't really get why (non religious) people have a problem with it - it doesn't affect you and your marriage.

Where's d000hg when you need him? What does the bible say about homosexuals?

Well for one it affects the definition of what marriage is - that is something everybody should fight to protect. Also you will find the definition of modern marriage stems from religions i.e. Christianity, Judaism, Islam - all of whom oppose homosexuality. Not so long ago homosexuality was viewed as an illness and a crime......

Hence you will find the vast majority of those who believe in God will oppose this.....
