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.

    You have a good point there. Eliminating child abuse by priests is easy: get rid of religion.

    You are joking, right? It isn't the religion that causes the abuse, religionists are no more prone to child abuse than any other group. The reason pedo-priests were such a big problem is because the church covered for them to protect its own reputation rather than protect the children. Just like UPenn covered for Sandusky.

    Right, it was the organization. Get rid of organized religion and there's no more organization and no more potential to cover up abuse that way.

    Getting rid of big-money collegiate sports would be a good thing too.
