More than what?
Your question is unclear.

I really wish we could post polls simultaneously to posting the thread.

I believe the root cause is fluoride in the water supply and accordingly, chose "other"

A close second would be, "living under the power lines"

All of them are with the exception of "radical" Christianity/family organizations, but divorce is the most destructive.

Hollywood - they have the power to export their anti-American, socialist/communist, liberal, gay, atheist, ghetto "values" to the rest of the country via books, TV, movies, music, and the liberal news media is right there backing them up.

I've never posted a poll; I didn't know that there was a separate process.
Carry on,

Don't worry. I had no trouble understanding both your thread title and your poll.

I chose 'Other', though I'm not sure it's 'disrupting' the family institution as much as redefining its requirements.

Education
Information
Mobility
Ability

Those influences have been part of revising the family unit for hundreds if not thousands of years.

I would agree that flouride in the water has had its negative influence on modern U.S. life.

A-holes who get married that are not a near perfect match and don't have the foresight to read the obvious writing on the wall that should be obvious before one ever say's "I do."

People who live [well] beyond their means, and then get a divorce motivated by "financial difficulties."
