I Am Very Curious....

A personal story in the experience: I Need to Decide If I'll Stay In My Marriage
w ith the national divorce rate now at 53% the chance that you will get divorced is greater than the chance you will stay married.

my parents are divorced.

my mom is going through her second as we speak.

married men hit on me non stop.

i know women and men having affairs.

lets just say a lot of things have been mixed together to create my not so positive outlook on marriage.

my mom and dad say that they just got married too young, that people do a lot of their changing and growing in there twenties which makes it very likely to grow apart.

is that true? do people get divorced because they get married too young?

or has true love been lost forever?

actually the math is all wrong. 53% divorce rate does not necessarily mean more than half the marriage partners will divorce. it only means 53% divorce. many of those divorce and remarry and divorce again...therefore most marriages stay together actually.
