why do people still get married when 3 out of 4 marriages end in divorce?

They probably think they will be the exception.

Is the divorce rate that high?
Also is divorce rate different in different demographics of people?

@ZefNinjaa: No. But if 2 people love each other, marriage is just a next step. More of a tradition than anything else and if they have children its preferable for the child to be born within a wedlock. Maybe I am just old fashioned but I see it that way. People should work towards making it work rather than running away at the first hurdle. I do not see any of my close circle ending in divorce.

Should relationships be based on an inevitable death? Then why not just live in isolation if the statistics are so dire?

@ZefNinjaa: I don't know about those statistics. But if and when I marry, I have all the intention of making it work.

Three out of four marriages don't end in divorce. Get a clue.

@Pfuzylogic: Being on opposite sides of an issue and having different opinions never bothers me. Having no opinion bothers me a little. But spewing stupidity and especially misogynistic stupidity like this OP has done all over SW drives me absolutely insane.

@sarabee1995: I can see that being a pet peeve; especially since you are so well defended in your thoughts.

@Pfuzylogic: Thank you! And feel free to engage me in spirited debate any time you want. I will do my best to be more respectful than I'm being to Mr Ninja here.
[c=#BF0080]That sounds a bit high.. I can think of tons of people that are married.. including myself of 20 yrs. 😉[/c]

@Noahkahol: It makes more sense knowing the motivation of your argument.

actually the odds are not that bad. The thing that skews the stats is the repeats. Once divorced, the odds are much higher that you'll divorce again.

Marriage is a commitment and you shouldn't make such a promise unless you're ready to take the tough times with the good.

I mean... ur comparing death to divorce... that's hardly the same thing.

I don't think people get married thinking about chances either.

It's not like they r playing in a casino... Except for maybe Vegas weddings

Idk... there r a bunch if reasons to get married... I won't do it again, ut I can understand y others want that

They listen to their lawyers more then their own conscience.

Because most people are not familiar with human psychology.
