8 Was Enough

Can't say I'm surprised , based on what I've been hearing: NEW YORK (AP) -- Celebrity parents Jon and Kate Gosselin say they plan to divorce. The co-stars of " Jon & Kate Plus 8 ," who are parents of 5-year-old sextuplets and 8-year-old twins, spoke of their decision to separate during Monday's episode of the TLC reality series.

Other researchers have documented what they call “the divorce divide,” contending that divorce rates are indeed falling substantively among college-educated couples but not among less-affluent, less-educated couples. “Families with two earners with good jobs have seen an improvement in their standard of living, which leads to less tension at home and lower probability of divorce,” said Andrew Cherlin, a professor of public policy at Johns Hopkins University. America’s divorce rate began climbing in the late 1960s and skyrocketed during the ’70s and early ’80s, as virtually every state adopted no-fault divorce laws. The rate peaked at 5.3 divorces per 1,000 people in 1981. For me, the divorce rate has always been something I note whenever people talk about the proverbial "sanctity of marr...
