Would you be willing to invest half of every material possession you own into an investment that has over a 50% chance of failing? What about your kids, your dignity, and your emotional stability?
The numbers don’t lie. Maybe if you were a financial analyst you might understand..
I think it was a great piece of writing. It may have a few flaws but based on current trends, changes to the way our society lives, and the divorce rate, I think it’s spot on. It challenges the norm, sure, but there is definitely a problem with the married life when over 50% end in divorce. It’s not pessimism, it’s a realistic look at a depressing topic.
In some countries marriages are contracts that expire at the end of 1 or 5 years. They can be renewed, or they can be left to expire. It’s not some messy divorce or legal battle. They just end and the ex-partners go their separate ways. No one loses money, possessions, etc.
I personally think that system would work great in the United States. With a marriage that could potentially end one day, both men and women would have to maintain the relationship and would undoubtedly put more effort into keeping their partner happy. Instead of having your wife or husband wrapped around your finger for the rest of your life, you have that small voice in the back of your head that says, if I don’t keep my significant other happy they’ll be gone when the agreement expires. Makes sense to me.

Hahaha, you are quoting perhaps the most bullshit source in all of existence. Come back with real numbers.
