SJSinNYC,
there are a lot of divorces. That is true! But you just made a statement implying that the cause is not being familiar with eachother before marriage. Did you ever take a poll on chasidish, litvish, modern, secular, etc and see where there is more divorces? FYI, most chasidim barely see e/o before marriage and most litvish people don’t either get to know e/o for over a year! And guess what! There are much less divorces amongst us than in the secular world! So obviously we’re fine the way we do things.
