Divorce rate may be too low.

It's that the marriage rate has been too high for a long time.

That, and people become economicly dependent. They tried UBI when Nixon was president (I know right) and it was considered a failure because the divorce rate went up. What later studies showed was that the divorce rate went up because women in abusive or dead end relationships were finally empowered to leave the spouses they had become depend on.

And if women voted as often as they should this wouldn't be considered a political failure
