Again - is it your assertion that our drastically changed social environment has had no effect on the stability of relationships?
I whole-heartedly agree with you that there are many factors that can help predict the success of a marriage. This is somewhat besides the point.
It's shortsighted and a case of "ignoring the elephant in the room" to pretend that a dramatic shift in our social environment is having no effect on the stability marriage or that factors which contributed to past-generation's successful marriages have been unaffected by this shift.
