So in actuality, only a small percentage of those already married get divorced in order for it to amount to 50% when compared to the amount of marriages.
I don't mean to take anything away from those who have been married for a long time...I think it's great. I hope to be one of you. So far I've been married for 2 months and going strong.
well, where I live I have 1 friend who still has his orignal parents. The rest of them all have divorced parents/remarried parents/ step dads/ step moms/ etc etc....so why dont you base it more on personal experience instead of silly statisics...I am sure I could find a magical percentage to place on my area instead of some homogonized national divorce rate.
