For a site that’s so against marriage you guys sure love to belittle, shame, and beat down women that aren’t married.
Divorce can feel omnipresent in the U.S., casting a long shadow over even the happiest, most secure marriages. In trying to understand how so many marriages seem to end in divorce, it’s easy to think of people around us who’ve gone through messy divorces, or summon the famously high US divorce rate as proof that all marriages are vulnerable. But that oft-cited divorce statistic — that half of all marriages in the U.S. end in divorce — turns out to be totally unreliable and essentially meaningless in measuring the actual risk of divorce in America. It’s a number derived from flawed data sets and faulty assumptions. The US divorce rate is a number that even sociologists have trouble pinning down, despite having consequences for marriages all over the U.S. Understanding how many marriages end in divorce just isn’t that simple.
The U.S. divorce “rate,” on its face, isn’t complicated. Looking at the total number of divorces in a year among the total U.S. population, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found there were 3.2 divorces per 1,000 people in 2016. But it’s not that simple, or reliable. “It’s a good metric, but it’s crude,” says Howard J. Markman, Ph.D., a psychology professor and co-director of the Center for Marital and Family Studies at the University of Denver.
There are a few reasons why this number is imprecise. The latest CDC marriage and divorce stats are based on data reported by just 44 states and Washington, D.C., What’s more, some states report marriage counts but not divorce counts and vice versa, says Krista K. Payne, Ph.D., a data analyst at the National Center for Family and Marriage Research at Bowling Green State University in Ohio. California, for example — a state with some 40 million people — isn’t included in the CDC’s divorce rate. Data collection isn’t uniform either, so states can get those numbers however they want.
Once you start digging, you can see that divorce rates like the one used by the CDC are fundamentally flawed. Even if we got a more accurate number, we’re asking the wrong question. For example, a rate like the one the CDC uses lumps single people in with married people. This is absurd. “If you’re not married, your risk of divorce is zero. But [researchers] use those vital stats because that’s what they have.”
The Divorce Rate Is Different Than You Think
No not even kind of but I'm also not with GMB nor would I waste any woman who wants to get married time. Every marriage I know IRL is a fukking joke people married for decades to a motherfukker that lives independently in another town or staying with a man for 20 plus years who is unfaithful to the point he has multiple kids outside the marriage. shyt is such a farce.

I said a lot of kids are better off with their parents not being married not all
If one parent is is narcissistic, irrational and emotionally unstable it’s better for a child to be around them only sparingly if at all. Remember the generation that led our community into chaos after the great migration mostly grew up in 2 parent households and many were verbally and physically abused as youths. There’s a lot of people (even on the coli) who didn’t grow up around a toxic parent and are better off for it

Strive for rulership not equality, black man.
Because people ain't getting married. Good try in trying to create a false narrative breh.
How can people getting married less lower the divorce rate of people who are already married?
Do you nikkas even math???

This above is why we are #GMB because this is the reality of most marriages. Either the man or woman or both are doing dirt. The fantasy portrayed in the media is an illusion.
Even with a great partner, attraction fades. Although raising kids together is nobel, it makes romance and sex in most marriages almost non-existent.
It gets even worse if you try and raise kids with your spouse away from your extended family. There is no real support to help with the kids and you both have to juggle so much that the affection between the couple gets lost.
This is certainly not every marriage but I think it is the reality of most long term marriages especially the ones with children.

Total facts. That nikka is the same type nikka that goes off kill his woman, kids, and himself once he finds that she's doing some grimy shyt behind his back and/or she just wants to move on him because she's just bored with him.She completes you? You need to be whole before entering a marriage. What happens if she decides she no longer wants to be with you? You can’t move on? You off yourself because you’re now incomplete?

Because the people not getting married would likely skew the data lower (more divorces). Since there is less pressure to get married, people who are more likely to fail at marriage or who would have gotten married at an age when they were not ready now are able to opt out. This helps lower the overall the divorce rate.
It's not that I'm anti marriage, I just don't think it's for me. Maybe that'll change if I meet someone I care enough about to want to spend the rest of my life with. Or maybe we'll just be partnered up and not get married.

The character of the parents is way more important than relationship status. A child with two unmarried but emotionally supportive parents has a better chance than a kid who grows up in a 2 parent household where one or both parents are toxic
Some of y’all take this website way too personal
