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

@ZefNinjaa: I know more married people. Actually I don't know divorced people in my close circles but they are rare. So whereas it is a concerning number, its not something that should stop one from holding a hope.

@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.
