Marriage strike bites

**Duncan Idaho** · 26th-June-2008

Married couples are now in the minority as number of single and divorced people soars

In 2006, the last year for which details are available, there were just 236,980 weddings in England and Wales - the lowest number since 1895 and the lowest proportion of marriages compared to the population since counting began in the mid-Victorian era.

We've swiftly caught up with the USA then.

Get ready for a blizzard of forthcoming articles in the press about how this clearly indicates us men are worthless and how Strong Empowered Wimmin have rejected us.

Mixed in with some whining articles about how us men are all such immature bastard selfish losers for not being keen to fund some woman's early retirement tie the knot.

236,980 weddings means at least 118,490+ divorces in the pipeline, initiated by 94792+ of these blushing brides.

The upside?

There will be fewer and fewer divorces as the years go by.
