Millennials Are Causing the U.S. Divorce Rate to Plummet

These results can be highly misleading, he mentions controlling for age, but he should consider :
- The US has experienced continued immigration at high rates, causing distortions in demographic ratios. These results should
look at the divorce rates by age and race / nationality, it might be the case that a certain class of people / recent immigrants are pulling down the divorce rates
- Divorce is a lagging indicator of what has already happened. Just because the divorce rate now is lower than what it was a few years ago, doesn't mean that the divorce rate is on a downward trend. Given all of the political turmoil going on in the US in
just the past few years, it's very well possible that the divorce rate could increase rapidly in a few years, as marriages don't fall apart instantly.
- Fewer younger people are getting married now than ever before. He mentions accounting for this, but I think it's worth
stating again. People historically all got married at a young age, but this has been pushed back continually so young people
who do marry young could very well have a much stronger chance of not getting a divorce. Also, if you break this up
geographically, it might be the case people in the countryside marry younger than in the cities, so this result could
be heavily skewed towards conservatives in rural America (though I'd have to look at stats to affirm this).

No. They do not. This is a meme, and a porn genre, but i have yet to meet a man who wanted his wife to take a creampie from a large black man. You ever meet one? Yeah, that's what i thought...

I just had to go with the future wife to get my marriage license. I left work a little early because I thought it would be a shit show. I work in Downtown Chicago and went to the county office in the center of the city.
The only other couple applying for a license was a 50ish-year-old Chinese couple with an interpreter and red passports in hand. I know they're scamming the federal government somehow, just don't know how.
Truly a sign of the times. But concur with the sentiment here that less people are getting married leading to these numbers.

Well shit, if 10% of my generation went to the Vietnam war and came home to be hated by the other 90%, I'd probably have a failed marriage also.

Millennials have been adults for less than a decade and those who are married have not been so for very long. Give them time.

Thing is the divorce rate is probably lower because most people are not opting to get formally married.
I'm sure if you counted common law marriages (people living together for 2+ years) then I'm pretty sure millennial's divorce rate would be higher than baby boomers these days. While I've known some fat women who stick with 1 guy for 8 years - the Thots seem to change guys on the regular.

Four years ago, a woman asked me to fuck her in front of her husband. Her husband had developed a desire to be cuckolded, wouldn't actually fuck her himself, and she said if I did it once, I could fuck her whenever I wanted without him around.
I didn't do it. Also, I'm not a "large black man".
