well, i just hope it gets true to all the other countries in the world!hehe that's a happy news to hear though.. at least we know that lesser families and marriages are broken in their country.. they are happier and more content with life.. well, in my country we cant divorce though..hehe we dont have divorce legalized.. but we can do annulment.. but when i get married.. i pray to grow old with the man i married.. or never get married at all!hehehe i dont know, marriage should not be taken easily.. and if you dont love the person or if you can imagine growing old with the person, then why get married in the first place..

That is good for them, but the divorce rate in America is still pretty high. Too high actually.

A drop in the divorce just means fewer British people have been getting married. For many people a wedding is just an excuse for a big party. Until they have enough money to spend on a big wedding most people will not bother. Getting married is a very low priority on for many young people now. They will live together, change partners, and have children, before they decide to get married. When two people have been together as a couple for many years, and then decide to get married, they are less likely to get divorced.
