Do you have a question about any aspect of your relationship with your fiance or any other family members? Now you can ask for advice from NJWedding.com's online relationship expert, Miles Wagman, MSW, LCSW, Director of The Relationship Center in Red Bank, New Jersey.

Miles Wagman believes that Marriage is in a fragile state in our society. The statistics are astonishing but illustrate the nature and scope of the problem and the challenge couples encounter in beating the odds. Here are some points to consider:

• The marriage rate is decreasing and is at its lowest point in 30 years.
• The divorce rate has remained stable since 1988.
• 43% of first marriages end within 15 years.
• 39% of remarriages end within 10 years.
• Co-habitation is increasing and has a higher failure rate than marriage.

After almost 25 years of working with couples, Miles Wagman asserts that education is a critical factor in allowing couples to maintain their close connection, and prevent them from developing destructive patterns which lead to failed relationships.
