You spend two years after university working in various jobs then you spend a year or law school. The three years after University you find out that a girl you once cared about had married a man who she believes she could spend the rest of her life with and he has cheated on her. Well that happened to me as I listened from various acquaintances and former friends they told me the story.

A few weeks before I was being told by another acquaintance that Britain had one of the highest divorce rates in the world. Another acquaintance had told me that Britain's Jewish community actually had the highest divorce rates in Britain. It is not surprise me at all many of my Jewish friends got married before my non-Jewish friends. The result is always the same they get married between 21 too 26 happily married for between four to 10 years and then you hear that they've divorced.

The early signs are there I'm hearing about acquaintances marriages now on the block. It would be funny if I didn't quote one acquaintance who told me how she fought her friends husband was a wonderful man. The fact is no one should get married before the 26 at the very least ideally I believe that someone shouldn't get married till their 30. In the last few months I've ended up hearing about my cousin friends she had leased has four friends who are now in the early stages of separated from their husbands. I believe the problem rests with the youth movements they tend to encourage Jewish people to get married in their early 20s. The idea is to increase the number Jewish people because when you get married early you have children earlier. The result is were starting to get generation of children will ball into young families (and apart from the ultraorthodox who quite frankly could have come from another planet) ordinary middle-class Jewish people seem to be getting divorced much more often than their non-Jewish friends.

And that my friends is my second blog I'm going to send one off tomorrow in joy and have a happy Jewish New Year...
