Wonder how many women would be interested if this changed.

The easiest way to do that would be having the freedom of not having to come up with the mortgage every month.
Considering how serious marriage is, anything above 15% is high!
The younger couples are and the less educated they are the more likely that it leads to divorce.
Then those young divorced people are 50% or more likely to get divorced in a 2nd marriage!

First of all, even with all that stuff you said, your statement is still incorrect. 100% of people die in the end no matter what exceptions you give. A better argument would have been life expectancy.
Regardless, the point isn’t about whether the overall numbers are correct. The point is that if you are considering marriage, the 50% divorce rate shouldn’t be taken at face value. So at the end of the day, if you wait until you are a certain age (maturity), are educated, have reasonably started a career, don’t marry a single parent, etc., your marriage is likely to be successful. It’s not a crapshoot like the raw data says, if you’re willing to be thoughtful about marriage in the beginning.
Most people are to busy trying to live some lifestyle then work on themselves and build something.
I really can see young dudes 40 and under down bad and having trouble finding a partner. But any women who complains about not be able to find a partner is a casualty of society.
I’m in my early 30s and getting into dating after appsent for some time and realizing how many options people have nowadays. You don’t even have to have a life. You can sit at home all day, talk to who ever when ever right on your phone.
All the tools are there. But most people are so confused and lost they can’t even see how fortunate we have it.

My parents and my ex wife's parents are both still married,
Me and my ex wife both have multiple degrees each. (she's a doctor, i'm an accountant)
We both earn over 6 figures
We went to church together every sunday and attended bible study on thursdays.
We waited until after we were married to have kids.
We didn't even meet until we were both in college.
Still got divorced.

Sorry to hear that playa
Oh no, i'm happy with the divorce. This dude doesn't take into account that some people are miserable in their marriages despite checking off all the boxes
and would be happier apart. back in they day those types of relationships lasted out of necessity, and for some reason people bragged about it like it was a good thing. A couple hates each other but stayed together being misreable for 60 years? nah
divorce isn't always bad. I think of those 50% of divorces as potentially taking one unhappy family and turning it into two happy ones. a good thing.

really sorry to hear that man
all of what you described I see in the folks I hang out with and I tend to idolize what they have being a single man. This shyt feels like a reality check

It wasn't meant to be "correct" It was supposed to be as ridiculous as what the old man is saying. You're being pedantic but you catch my drift. Of course things work better when you're prepared for them. That goes for anything. Statistics don't take all variables into consideration and they never have because that's not what they're for.
This whole topic is goofy, imo. Relationships are complicated and I don't think it can be boiled down to a checklist or formula that will ensure the likelihood of a successful marriage. If it's for you, go for it. But personally I'm tired of marriage being treated like it's something we OUGHT to do. It's not the answer to anything.
When it comes to kids, stability is key. If stability is one of the preliminary needs for a successful union then I must ask: If the parents are stable and unified, does them being legally married actually matter? Not taking anecdotes for an answer either.
And just because a couple stays married does that mean the marriage is successful? There's plenty of couples who are miserable together and stay because of that good ol sunk cost fallacy. What are the metrics? What works? All relative.

I wasn’t being pedantic. The reason I mentioned it is because what you said was much more ridiculous than what he said, particularly based on the context of what he was saying.
It’s not about boiling it down to anything, it’s about increasing the probability of success.
Also, no one suggested (in the clip or my post) that you ought to get married. Marriage isn’t for everyone. But, there are some things that are more likely to work better when you’re married. It just is what it is. The government and other institutions have made being married more advantageous, so if you have someone that you love and trust then it may make more sense to be legally married. With that said, if that’s your only reason for marriage, you probably shouldn’t.

Who filed for divorce
My cousin died over the weekend, 2 weeks after his wife wrote about their issues online.
He was the most clean-cut and professional person I've probably ever met. A veteran and SSA. I imagine he couldn't handle separating from his Family. He was blindsided by what he saw online. I recently messaged him and he told they were working things out but that wasn't true. May he rest in peace
