I assure you that whatever the real data is - Bitcoin will increase the divorce rate significantly in the next 50 years. Bitcoin will wreck all institutions - especially relationship oriented institutions - until we figure out how to rebuild them around its existence.

Just the opposite: Women initiate the majority of divorces. Women married to self sovereign men who hold their own keys know they can’t just fleece the guy. They’re much more likely to play nice in that scenario.
The mindset and balance that Bitcoin often reinforces in a person is compatible with marriage. A Marriage of healthy origin and Bitcoin harmonize in a way that removes the institution from the marriage. Marriage being an “institution” is a fiat thing. Marriages that lean on the paper and the law are built on the wrong premise and that in itself leads to their false expectations and failure. Marriages that are a low time preference life of ongoing dating, growing and building are less institutional and more bitcoiny.
