And just as many couples who NEVER socialize (that’s probably a major problem of sholom bayis for them, btw) also break up. I am bothered by this “list.” Some of the points the Rov makes (internet filtering and over use of the cellphone)are absolutely on point. But to say outright that the workplace is at fault or inviting friends out to dinner is at fault, is a little misleading. Part of the reason for the rising divorce rate is that we have raised a generation of people who do not know the acceptable and natural, healthy way to interact with each other. If you cannot have a simple conversation with someone of the other gender without it leading to something untzniusdik, then you have not been exposed to the opposite gender in a normal way.
Someone who will fool around in the workplace will ALWAYS find a place to behave in such a disgusting manner. If someone cannot eat a meal with another couple without it leading to something untzniusdik, that says something really scary to me about his upbringing, though I am sure there is a percentage of divorces among the entire population of divorced couples for whom this was an issue.
To point to these specific issues as the cause for the divorce crisis,however, is a little unrealistic, IMO. Maybe the present shidduch system and rush to an early engagement with someone one barely knows, and rushing further to an even quicker chuppah, is the REAL reason behind all these divorces. Our young couples are getting married for the wrong reasons to the wrong people, and with unrealistic expectations that have been drummed into them in seminary. The girls have stars in their eyes thinking of the wonderful N’shei Chayil Kollel wives they will be, and after the third baby in as many years, with no real independent parnassah on the horizon except for what the wives bring in, the disillusionment is devastating. And if we can be non-emotional for the moment and be honest with ourselves, maybe some of us will realize that what I just said is true. Not pleasant to hear, but true, nonetheless.
