The Divorce Rate IS NOT 50%

[⠀X ⠀]

Dumb take. It's not high if you take away
This
That
This and that
Then this also
And I forgot about removing this factor

If you got to do all that to prove your point it's a terrible argument.

True. And I thought college educated women were more likely to divorce. He should give a source for these claims

So he's basically saying if you do it THE RIGHT WAY and follow guidance you will get the best results, which should be common sense. Some people in this thread don't wanna hear it.


I really think some people know even if they tried their hardest they wouldn't be marriage material anyway.

But that doesn't have shyt to do with the rest of society, who marriage will benefit.

So what are the real odds?

This isn't the super bowl, marriage is life. You have to pledge a vow to your creator. Turns out most are liars and will even lie to god

The real odds are IF there's a divorce, your wife is the one who's putting a case on you 70-90% of the time. And when she leaves, she's taking half your shyt with her

While the stereotype is that women are the ones who want to get married, the truth is that they are one who want to get divorced when things aren’t going right. In fact, studies show that 70% of divorces are initiated by women. When accounting for just college-educated women, that figure jumps up to 90%. Why are there so many women wanting to end their marriages?

They are. They file at a 90% rate. I had a breh that did some repair work at my house and he said he's going through a divorce now because he wife just graduated from law school and wants to "level up." Dude did roofing and solar panel installs and was married for like 16 years and had a few kids.

If men actually dated at their income level and not looks It would def be a game changer

Even then it's still a risk if she quits her job. Don't let her quit that job

GMB's whole premise is built on anecdotal.

No it ain't. Look at the stats. Talk with men at the barbershop.

This ain't a great argument for marriage The goalpost for doing the right right to maintain a marriage can always be moved, what is great today, is toxic tomorrow.

I wear suits every time I go out. A while back I met this broad, told her the restaurant to meet at, and asked her to wear a dress and heels. She told me I was being toxic

If you take out the old people, the smokers, people who drive cars, people who aren't in good health, people who have cancer, people with dangerous jobs, people who get murdered, and people who take risks then nowhere near 100% of people die in the end.

Creh is on to nothing.


Then one of the posted articles says OUR divorce rate is over 40%. That almost backs up the 50%. At least for us.

Is the 50% Divorce Rate a Myth?

It's widely accepted as common knowledge that roughly half of all marriages end in divorce. But just how accurate is that 50% divorce rate?

Sounds like the people who have their heads on straight before walking down the aisle tend to make it work

dave ramsey is entertaining, but when he hits u with the evangelical bullshyt, I always hit the

That divorce myth has been debunked for decades already
Edit: also The most educated women are the more likely to be married and less likely to be divorced

I've been married for a minute. Nothing in life worth it comes easy. It requires work. The rewards of a stable happy home are priceless. I couldn't imagine life without this.

This!!!

I’ll admit marriage isn’t for everyone though and if you’re young, selfish, got a wondering eye, or you’re trying to build wealth on your own then you probably need to remain single and just date casually.

You have to work at relationships and compromise on things at times. Everyone’s psyche isn’t built to be consistently doing that.

For me though, the rewards out weigh the drawbacks. I still don’t mind occasionally just looking at some scattered azz, but I wouldn’t trade my stability, companionship, the company of a woman who truly loves me, a good mother to our children, and my life’s cheerleader for any of that.

Repped. Happy for you. It really does take a village. Community = power

de-stabalizing a community is like cutting off your enemies limbs and then telling them to feed themselves.


Nuclear happy families are the path out the darkness into the light.

I'm as wild as they come breh; but I make this shyt my mantra. Its keeps me in check. I did a 180 FR FR for the sake of me n mines.

The problem with the GMB is y'all still having kids. And if y'all aren't married those kids belong 100% to the woman and you are an outsider to your own kid legally until/if you fight. You are perpetuating and compounding the 'matriarchy' you hate by doing this.

Oh that what it is huh

I guess, but the freedom of not coming up with the mortgage is priceless, as well as waisting money on interest even if it is 3%.

You can build higher “interest” or yield that pays you… when you have no mortgage that’s great but you need to keep working to build retirement I rather work towards not having to be an employee than worry about 3%
