It’s a safe bet that divorce rates will continue to climb. Hell, most millenials are eschewing marriage altogether since the legal and economic ramifications are too great. They’d rather cohabitate, share some bills, and if it doesn’t work out, they just go their separate ways.

Commitment is dead.

well, maybe we need to examine those “legal and economic” consequences ?

I don’t know ...
it is fine for some folks to live independently, but for so many young people ? I think there’s definitely something wrong....at any event i cannot understand it

and for many of them, they will get old and never enjoy the many benefits of family life ... and it can get very lonely too..do they realize this?

There’s zero benefit to getting married if you’re a guy. It just hooks you to a huge amount of debt and gives the women all the power in the relationship. Divorce is a game rigged for women and without changing that incentive there’s no reason to get officially married.

not necessarily. many will not get married. less mismatched marriages will lead to less divorce.
