Valid points, but ascribing these problems as being caused by a changing economy is myopic. Everything in this story strike me as cultural failings. A western people adrift without a powerful worldview, without a Christian worldview. Why expect the government to solve cultural problems? Money doesn’t make you happy. Gratitude does.

False. But, for some reason you choose to state these as "facts."
Dr. Brad Wilcox, director of the National Marriage Project, states that “‘active conservative protestants who attend church regularly are actually 35% less likely to divorce than those who have no religious preferences.”
For those who were active in their church, the divorce rate was 27 to 50% lower than for non-churchgoers. On the other hand, Christians—those who simply call themselves “Christians” but do not actively engage with the faith—are 20% more likely than the general population to get divorced.

Why a "Christian" worldview? I won't support that thought until Christians in America start acting like Christians.
We confuse pleasure with happiness. Happiness isn’t easy, pleasure is, so we try to eat, drink and buy our way out of unhappiness.
I'll leave your with this:
Groups less likely to divorce; Catholics and Atheists
Group most likely to divorce: Evangelicals
Not sure how this falls into your idea of what a Christian Worldview is?
