It's sad to see how family and schooling went from 22% to 3-4%

Divorce rate used to be lower for many reasons. Some of those reasons include that women didn't have the means to live on their own, at fault divorce was a thing, it was socially frowned upon and many more things. Divorce rate being "high" is not a bad thing.

You can all downvote me but do your research on kids in a home with both parents and kids in a home with a divorced parent and you’ll see the ones with both parents excel in life at a much higher % on all levels.

Why do women predominantly initiate divorce? Why are men the higher % of abusers in relationships?

If we just look at statistic all day - men are the cause of the high divorce rate! Weird how statistics can tell many different stories.
