The Young and Not Restless

Baby Boomers are incorrigible. At least that’s one way of looking at the latest data on America divorce rates. It turns out that Millennials are approaching marriage differently — so differently in fact that they often decide to stay married. From Bloomberg: Millennials Are Causing the U.S. Divorce Rate to Plummet (Even positive Millennial headlines are worded critically): “New data show younger couples are approaching relationships very differently from baby boomers, who married young, divorced, remarried and so on. Generation X and especially millennials are being pickier about who they marry, tying the knot at older ages when education, careers and finances are on track. The result is a U.S. divorce rate that dropped 18 percent from 2008 to 2016.”
