Divorce does seem to be happening in epidemic proportions. Do they really think the grass is greener on the other side of the fence? Do the marriage vows take a hike when you think there’s something better out there for you? A vow is a promise, like honoring a contract – but these days people just rip up the contract like yesterday’s hamburger wrapper, and toss it in the trash can. Sad . . . . .
Studies show that divorce is contagious. You’re more likely to divorce if your friends do. A study done by the Daily Mail found that the break-up of a friend of a friend’s marriage boosts your chances of divorce by a third, calling the effect “divorce clustering.”
Break-ups within friendship groups “force couples to start questioning their own relationships” and “reduce the social stigma of splitting up, even when children are involved.”
