Show Notes

Rates of divorce in America are low, and have actually fallen nearly 50% since the 1980's. However, in one group the rates are rising. People over 50 are leaving their marriages in much higher numbers. We speak to relationship researchers Dana Weiser from Texas Tech University and Rosie Shrout at University of British Columbia about this phenomenon termed "the grey divorce" and take listener calls.
