第八篇The State of Marriage Today C级
Is there something seriously wrong with marriage today? During the past 50 years,the rate of divorce in the United States has exploded:almost 50%of marriages end in divorce nowand the evidence suggests it is going to get worse.If this trend continues.it will lead to the breakup of the family,according to a spokesperson for the National Family Association.Some futurists predict that in l 00 years.the average American will marry at least four times.and extramarital affairs will be even more common than they are now.
