Also the higher your education level the lower rate of divorce. A four year degree cuts the divorce rate by half.
I don't disagree with you, but even your statistics have their own statistics that explain them. We can deep dive into the reasons for all these issues, but then we are getting more into United States dating culture, not Japanese so I don't want to stray anymore off-topic than I have. But rest assured, the Marriage Strike problem here is real, whether consciously or subconsciously. I really really wish it wasn't that way, but I can't deny what is in front of me.
