The most common reasons given for the breakdown of marriages or live-in partnerships in Britain are communication problems and growing apart, according to analysis by UCL researchers of the latest National Survey of Sexual Attitudes and Lifestyles (Natsal-3).
[...] Natsal is the largest scientific study of sexual health lifestyles in Britain. It is carried out by UCL, the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine and NatCen Social Research [sic]
Natsal is run every 10 years, and includes a representative sample of men and women resident in Britain aged between 16 and 74. Natsal-3 was carried out between 2010 and 2012.
The study focused on the responses of 706 men and 1254 women to questions about their reasons for breakdown of a marriage or cohabiting relationship in the past 5 years.
[UCL is, of course, University College London. It has as part of one of its faculties the above-mentioned school.]
I would have guessed footie.

However it was an optimization for the living conditions of the stone age, which no longer apply to modern life. Also, it is not exactly true that the natural uprising of human children is by a man and a woman; rather the natural uprising is by a big family where lots of people have their part in it.

A bold claim. What evidence do you have to back it up?
I don't disagree. The married couple were simply the core of the family unit not its entirety.
My rights don't end where your fear begins.
