Note: Figures compare divorces in a given year to marriages in that same year (the crude divorce rate divided by the crude marriage rate). For example, 500 divorces and 1,000 marriages in one year produce a ratio of 0.50 (50%), i.e.
one divorce per two marriages

How sad to see Portugal and Spain topping the list.
yeah it's kinda shocking how high those are - wonder if cultural shifts or economics play into it
Well one thing's for sure, spiritual decadence is the culprit.
spiritual decadence huh - maybe, but feels like a mix of factors to me
Sure it's a mix of many things but the bottomline is always lack of God in our lives. 😁

are people tired of marrying?
Maybe, or just life's getting more complicated with jobs and all. Divorce rates are climbing in a lot of places though
