Quiet but it's a means to an ends. Not everyone without money is unhappy. I read a study about marriage, it said to keep a marriage going you need two of the folowing three things; Sex, Childern and Money.

It is socially exceptable to talk about money, so I suspect these women polled in the Sunday Times were happier to talk about the money then the other two.

Maybe I'm being nieve but I really don't think money makes the world go round. I think how these women were asked the question is important.
Afterall how much is enough money?
-Enough to feed and cloth your childern- well at the very least the state would cover that.
-Enough to live the life you are accustomed to? ...[text shortened]... t a devorce, but not try for one is private or because of the way the question was worded.
Agreed. How the question is asked is critical in the kind of answer that is obtained.

your question only makes sense if you consider the institution of marriage to be what keeps society together.

'The breakdown of family life is Britain’s most urgent crisis today. Every week, it seems, newspapers in the UK shed additional light on how wrecked the British family actually is. The once United Kingdom has not only lost its empire, what’s left at home is rotten to the core.'

Um...right this guys got issues...she must have taken the house, the dog, the lot

More laughable nonsense.

Really must commend DSR for his efforts in dredging the cess-pits of the christian far-right to bring us these gems.

Keep it up, you know your efforts are appreciated.

Doesn't the increase in divorce rate reflects the fact that people are generally getting better off financially so that they could afford to go separate ways? Making personal choices are generally more acceptable than very old days also.

Other social problems such as high incidence of youth crimes like vandalism, heavy drinking, and skunk smoking are something more to worry about in this country. Surely we can't blame single/divorced parents for all of these.

The rate is higher in America. Is the US's collapse complete?

i'm confused... why does a breakdown of a marriage symbolise a breakdown of a country?
