my computer won't load it for some reason, what are the statistics?

After some quick background research, I'd say these stats (which are more like a pro-christian argument against divorce/single-life) are not representative of todays average social situation. Most of the studies that produced these stats are more than 30 years old (one from ~1915 !!)... So Im not going to trust them as truth. They are more "shocking one-liners" beneath which there are unwritten caveats such as ".. if you are poor, old and its currently 1975" I've Cut'n'pasted some of it here for those who cant be bothered clicking http://www.christianparty.net/mortdiv.htm Every two divorces in the US causes one premature death. The premature mortality rates of mothers, fathers, and the children of divorce increase by 30% to 200% after divorce. Non-marriage causes the premature deaths of 270,000 women and 700,000 men each year. Each 100 additional divorces worldwide cause one additional murder, 6 additional reports of rape, 33 additional armed robberies, and puts 100 more men in prison. Non-marriage is 3-11 times greater a health risk than tobacco smoking--which Congress believes should be regulated. Forty five percent of marriageable American males remain unmarried today, up from 23% in 1960, leaving 50 million women of marriageble age who are unmarried. Divorce increases the premature mortality rate of men by 4x greater than it increases it for women. Divorce increases the premature mortality rate of children by 44%. Divorced and remarried men have a mortality rate 2.5 times higher than married but never divorced men. Single men living alone had identical mortality rates as those living with "significant others", but 2.2 times as high as married men. Divorced women have 16% higher mortality rates as single women and twice as high as married women. Widowed women have mortality rates up to 5 times higher than married women. Poor divorced women have a mortality rate 3 times that of non-poor married women. Controlling for other sociodemographic covariates, divorced and never married men are 2-3 times as likely as married men to die of heart disease, lung disease, cancer, diabetes, accidents, suicide, homicide, and cirrhosis. Single men and women are 2-4 times more likely than married men and women to die of accidents, auto accidents, homicide, suicide, violence, falls, lung cancer, cirrhosis, diabetes, and heart disease. Single and divorced women have mortality rates twice as high as married women. Single Japanese men have "exceptionally high death rates". Church attendance cuts mortality rates in half. Only 33% of black children live with both parents. The US divorce rate increased 50 fold since the feminists met in Seneca Falls. Compared to married women, divorced or single women are: Twice as likely to die of circulatory diseases. Twice as likely to die of cancer. Three times as likely to die of diabetes. Four times as likely to be killed in an accident. Four times as likely to be murdered. Five times as likely to die of respiratory diseases. Five times as likely to commit suicide. Five times as likely to die of cirrhosis.
