Interesting survey, no (or few) comments. Safe to say that it was answered by mostly sisters. Single brethren, as a group, don't stay as active as this survey suggests that singles do. Look around your congregations at sacrament meeting and take note.
It talks about why divorces happen, where support may be found and somewhat mentions problems some single families face. It doesn't talk of continuingly being reminded that your are failing in the Lord's Plan of Happiness every time you attend a Church meeting. Or, the slights and insults in remarks that innocently occur and are not meant to hurt or cause harm but can. Not by design, but by social interaction, the ward family really doesn't seem to have much of a place for divorced singles to fit in.
