When it comes to marriage: would you go on a cruise ship if 60% of the cruise ships sank?
Why get married, since 60% end in divorce?
If you do get married, be sure you know about the lifeboats.

Some of us grownups get married to have a monogamous relationship with some like minded person of the opposite sex and to create an environment that offers stability and nourishment to our children. I don't know what the other 60% of the narcissistic populace that make their decisions based on social statisitics do.

"Why get married, since 60% end in divorce?" Why live when everyone dies?

I have never read "60%". But I have read that of first marriages, quite a bit less than 50% fail; what brings up the average of failure is the fact that those who divorce and re-marry often divorce and re-marry again, sometimes several times.

Why get married, since 60% end in divorce? The divorce rate is much higher for those couples who live together before marriage, 50% higher.

On a cruise ship you have no control if it sinks or not. In a marriage it's your own dumb-ass fault if it fails.
