If blue states care less about moral values, why are divorce rates so low in the
bluest of the blue states? It’s a question that intrigues conservatives, as much
as it emboldens liberals.
My guess, and this is just a guess and maybe not a good one. In red states the pressure for marriage might be higher, if a couple who are dating or living together, maybe they are pushed into marriage before they are ready, or before they understand each other as people. In blue states where relationships are more free, and there are examples of people who have had solid relationships for years - without getting married, there is less pressure. It makes marriage a choice, something that you have time to think about, is it really something that you want to commit to with that person.
