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.]

Perhaps people need to realize that love can't be put into a contract. If economic stability is the issue, perhaps a joint-venture Child rearing Inc is a better idea :p
And people should perhaps live separately but near with shared spaces for the children and without entangling finances. Enforced daily socialization is perhaps taking a too large toll when people are lacking personal space and time. Man huts and dito female ones may have their reason for existing in the first place.
