Are you kidding? Haven't you ever watched TV or gone to a movie? EVER??
I think you missed the entire point of the article. It's not that marriage is perfect or that all marriages succeed. It's that our culture has been telling us for decades that marriage makes you unhappy, that the only good sex is outside of marriage, and that living together, or having random sex is better than being married. The point is that the numbers aren't accurate and that marriage is a good thing, in spite of what we're being fed.
It's part of the progressive agenda, and it's part of the homosexual agenda to destroy marriage, and dissuade young people from believing in marriage (which they have partially succeeded in doing).
This is a good article!
Marriage may or may not be a good thing.
Where 2 people marry and they get along well and have a happy marriage, it is a very good thing - my wife and I are in that category.
Where 2 people marry and don't get along, then it can be a bad thing for themselve and any children they may have.
A few people I know should never have married, just like a lot of people I know should never have had kids.
Marriage, in and of itself, is neither good nor bad. It is a legal and moral relationship. Some are mature enough for it, but in our ophraphied society, an increasing number aren't and will never be.
The number of divorces, the number of people who never get married,the number of spouses who cheat on their partners would suggest that the author of the article may have rose colored glasses on.
