Description

Marriages are at a record high, but, at the same time, so are divorces. Proposed law changes stating divorcees must become financially independent have caused controversy, Decision Makers presented by Richard Bestic explores the issues. Malcolm Wicks(?) explains why marriage remains attractive, the legal implications, and the public view of marriage. The Church of England believes young marriages simply need more support. Engineer Colin Clements, researcher Janice Sutherland.
