Why do you assume Europeans do any better at this? Do you have comparable statistics? From my own experience, it is extremely unlikely that it is any different once you accounted for all variables. One reason Europeans might stay together longer together is for the tax benefits and other government subventions they would not get if they were single. In fact, except for single mothers who get everything with very litte conditions but terrible outcomes. The reality does not have much to do with a special government, religion, or whatever convoluted explanation you want to find. The answer is right there in plain sight; expect you cannot really say it because of strong enforcement of the public discourse.

If that was not clear, I am saying that women are the variable that is messing everything up, and as a recipient of this reality I think anyone who believe otherwise is either a fool or politically motivated for some reason.
