I Do... Until I Don’t: Why Modern Marriages Fall Apart — and What Actually Keeps Love Alive

Everyone says half of all marriages end in divorce. Everyone is wrong, and the truth is far more interesting.

Divorce in the United States has fallen from its peak around 1980. Yet couples still hit the wall, and more of them are doing it after 50. Why?

Marriage today is asked to do more than it has ever done. Your spouse is supposed to be your lover, best friend, co-parent, financial partner, and biggest cheerleader. Meanwhile, two phones glow on the nightstand, the budget stretches thin, the housework is rarely fair, and the village that once helped couples hold together has quietly disappeared.
