Interesting. They're bringing down the divorce rate by not marrying in the first place.

Correct.  My experience is that 90% of that generation are simply living together in sin.

The relationships between men and women have gotten so bad that apparently millennials are not even engaging in fornication any more, but are going their own ways, instead. (Of course, they are not living in the state of virtuous celibacy either, it is simply that they have succuмbed to unnatural and wicked sɛҳuąƖ experimentation of all sorts, helped by addiction to worldwide available one - click pornography).

Their own graphs don't even back up their headline. In fact, they may actually contradict it.

The 18-34 year old black line looks relatively flat across time. However when the graph says "Prevalence of divorced people age 18-34," it implies throughout the whole general population whether they married or not. With that it mind, and with people less likely to be married between the ages of 18-34 over time, then that suggests that divorce is actually rising (slightly) amongst younger generations (Millennials).

Look at the darker blue line. Could some of millennials' bringing divorce rates down be witnessing their own parents' divorces and wanting desperately to avoid that?
