No Seriously, the 50% myth has been repeatedly debunked.
I'm simply saying that the two statements are different

This isn't true. 50% of marriages end in divorce, but the people divorcing are divorcing multiple times. The average of a first time marriage is well above 50%.

50% divorce rate with women filing 75% of the time. No thanks. That's a bad ROI.

Society today will only make the numbers raise. shite kids can't stick with a commitment to a school to play football. What do you think will happen as time goes on and maturity goes down

I'll never get married. If I can find a cool hippie chick to make a baby or two with I wouldn't be opposed to that, but marriage is off the table for me now and until the day I die.

The majority of people I know that got married in their early 20's are divorced or not happy in their relationship.

As the old adage goes, "If it flies, floats, or fricks, rent it."

Women are more likely than men to utter the words, "I want a divorce" -- but women and men are equally likely to initiate a non-marital breakup, according to a new study.
Michael Rosenfeld, an associate professor of sociology at Stanford University, examined data from Stanford's 2009-2015 How Couples Meet and Stay Together project, a nationally representative longitudinal study of relationships and breakups. Rosenfeld looked at 2,262 adults, ages 19 to 94, who had opposite sex partners in 2009. By 2015, 371 of these people had split up or gotten divorced.
While breakups between unmarried couples were gender neutral -- men were just as likely as women to initiate them -- when it came to divorce, Rosenfeld found that wives initiated 69 percent of splits, compared to 31 percent of men.

1/2 of marriages end in divorce the other 1/2 end in death. which is better?
Best just to not get married in the first place.

I guess a pre-nup will be the status quo.
I've heard though that lawyers can get around those.
Women are just invoking their cash-out clause that's in hidden ink that only the judge can see.

What's alarming are the number of divorces after 20+ years of marriage.
That's when the kids are out of the house. Either hey stayed for the kids or, once kids were out of house they realize that there's nothing left of the "couple" without the kids.

How is there an odd number of people split up?

Take out multiple divorce by either partner and divorce by children who were themselves product of divorce and see what the rate is if you don't choose poorly

probably should expect of 50% to be success stories and the other half.... well you know

31 and divorced. Was married 3.5 years. Loving the single life but miss my daughter. It's a rough trade sometimes but overall i am happier bc i was a miserable human being while married.

I think this rate will go down as modern couples wait to get married and co-habitate (and frick) first. I know several couples that broke up after living with each other because they realized they were incompatible. These would be divorces 20 years ago.
Lets see what the numbers are in 30 years. Marriage rates might go way down, but I think the ones getting married will have more success.
Also, the amount of gays getting married to women as beards will go down

Co habitating before marriage increases the chances for divorce.
It's like not respecting marriage as an institution (as traditionally designed) indicates some sort of lower value on the marriage itself, who would have thunk?

The other day, when there was a thread asking if the institution of marriage is dead, I looked up the divorce rate and I found information that said early in the century (2000-2005ish) the divorce rate was around 50%, but today its around 37%.. In other words, anyone who currently gets married has a 37% chance of getting divorce.
In my opinion, I think less people are jumping the gun. People got married for the wrong reasons more than they do now so the 50% rate is not really accurate.

It seems to actually be a result of age
The younger you marry, the more likely you are to divorce. Apparently it matches cohabitation
