The current political climate is different than before. It not falls along the lines of empathy. I don't see how marriages survive that in a healthy way.
That isn't to say they'll all divorce. Divorce rates are very tightly coupled to economic well-being and children. But I do think a lot more people are staying in horrible marriages if their partner has no empathy.
