Gosh, Flowmom, Mb has to have a prepared response since I am certain her husband is not going to drop the D talk (since he is selfishly trying to aleive his guilt)
Saffie, there are stats somewhere. There are databases pertaining to psychology and peer reviewed articles and they would have the info. I am certain there is more than 'pop' articles. there is a scientific basis and the studies have to be "peer reviewed". I think Psychoinfo is one such database that most University's have (usually free to anyone who would like to access). Pubmed.gov may have some stuff also. You can just google for "statistics" and ".gov" or ".edu" for more authoritative stuff
MWD does a good job attacking divorce in C1 of Divorce Remedy. MWD spends a full chapter explaining why Divorce is a "Trap" and the last resort.
mb28 you really should read that chapter before signign anything please
