What statistics are you talking about? I hope it isn't that 50% fallacy!
Read this:
"Pollster Louis Harris has written, "The idea that half of American marriages are doomed is one of the most specious pieces of statistical nonsense ever perpetuated in modern times."
"It all began when the Census Bureau noted that during one year, there
were 2.4 million marriages and 1.2 million divorces. Someone did the
math without calculating the 54 million marriages already in existence,
and presto, a ridiculous but quotable statistic was born.
"Harris concludes, "Only one out of eight marriages will end in divorce.
In any single year, only about 2 percent of existing marriages will break up."
Marriage is wonderful. If engaged in by mature and caring people. For me, when I found the woman I couldn't live without, marriage was a way to show her that I was serious about that. If you don't understand that then Maybe you haven't met the right person. I don't think "marriage" is bad. Every marriage is different.
