Not necessarily, 46% of marriages are a success, why can't you be one of those?

From my perspective, I've seen too many people, friends and acquaintences get married for the wrong reasons, some married too young for themselves (I think I'm too young to get married, and I'm almost 40), some married to get out of a bad situation (needed help with bill paying or something), there's a lot of reasons why people do get married, and a lot why they shouldn't.

When you do meet Miss Right, if you can ask yourself the question, do I want to be with this person for the rest of my life, knowing that the rest of your life is a long time. Are you willing to be with this person thru good times and some really shitty times, not out of obligation but because you want to be by their side, then this is the person that you should marry. Otherwise Run Away.
