“The MAJORITY of marriages fail. . .”

Okay. . .but in the nest paragraph:

“Of all the people who get married, only three in ten remain in healthy, happy marriages. . .”

Three out of ten is now a majority?

Must be common core math. . .

Read it again. 7 of 10 fail, that's a majority.

Read again what you wrote.

3 in ten don’t fail.

would mean 7 in ten fail.

7 in ten = majority. I think.
