“In a 2020 study, she and colleagues found that the share of newly married couples living apart, but not because of discord, more than doubled to 13% in 2018 from 6% in 1980.”

It’s about four million couples in the US. Why? My hot take: it’s more socially acceptable and reduces the volatility and stress in these relationships that would normally cause a divorce (or prevent a marriage in the first place).

Here’s a great book on relationships that’ll provide more relevant depth: https://www.amazon.com/Science-Happily-Ever-After-Matters/dp...

Past statistics have shown that in the U.S. 50% percent of first marriages, 67% of second, and 73% of third marriages end in divorce btw.
