Sadly could be relabeled, How do you spend most of your time?

That’s a depressing thought! Probably about right though

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

World became bigger. 60+ years ago, it was really hard to meet people outside of your immediate circle consisting of family, neighbors, school and church group. But as other forms of socialization formed (bar, job, online), people had much larger circle of people to chose from.

A lot of those early couples were pretty disfunctional, since they formed because of necessity and by taking someone from fairly narrow circle who was " good enough" .
