The number of New Zealanders choosing to get divorced is outpacing those getting married.   Stats NZ data shows a 3% drop in marriages and civil unions last year compared to 2024.   In the same period, divorces were up 5%.   Family Lawyer Jeremy Sutton told Ryan Bridge marriages are more likely to end in divorce after 25 years.   He says if you're together for a longer period of time, you'll change and are more likely to get sick of each other.  LISTEN ABOVE  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
