Mating In Captivity

Esther Perel explains what it takes to bring lust home

While we all dream of finding ever-lasting love, divorce rates have been going up globally since the 1970s.

If you’re interested in the details: the frontrunner is The Maldives, with a divorce rate of 5.52 per 1,000 residents. Sri Lanka is the best in class, with a divorce rate of only 0.15 per 1,000 residents.

Thus, you know where to move to (and where not) if you want your marriage to work. (Just kidding, as correlation does not imply causation.)
