This statistic is misleading I think. They should account for people that meet on via websites that put people together who have the same interests or faith. I met my wife 10 years ago (married for 8) on a Christian dating website. My brother met his wife 5 years ago on the same site. A dear friend of my wife met her husband 11 years ago on the same site as well. Anecdotal evidence suggests to me that if people share a common world view, it doesn’t matter where they meet. Did they check the divorce rates for people who meet in bars? I bet that would be even worse.
Hmmm. Wife # 1; met in a bar......divorce after 11 years of marriage
Wife # 2; met in bar.....divorce after 3 years marriage
Based on my experience, INTELLECT DEFICIENCY is the culprit! Do not marry REALLY beautiful women! They truly are, statistically, not very smart. Plus, their mommas taught them to only marry a man with money!
On a bumper sticker, and now as an old guy being fair, they married me for money, I married them for looks.
Both reasons pretty dumb!
Mr. GG2 and I met online 8 glorious years ago. We are as happy as clams. You could not pry us apart with the jaws of life. We are the classic example of “til do us part”. :-)
