this is true, I'm not paranoid i have full faith in our love :)
Let's just say as I've gotten older and have been married longer, I've developed a much greater respect and admiration for couples who have been together a really long time. Relationships take two people to make work, and just one to screw it up. And even with hard work and determination, that sometimes isn't enough either.

I also used to bust on divorced people for being idiots, flighty, or failures. But my opinion has changed on that too.

your point doesnt stand because not all marriage ends in divorce, so your hypothesis would render all marriages void and ending in divorce which they don't so the variable for divorce isnt marriage it's marrying for the wrong reasons or wrong person
It was a joke. Simply put the only way you can get divorced is if you're married. Hence the leading cause of marriage is the leading cause of divorce. :p

Oh I dont trivialize divorce, marriage or any relationship with true commitment is hard and takes alot of work

If marriage is really so much work, I think I might have to pass.
It helps to find someone where it isn't as much work, or that it's work that you love.

It's amazing that as civilized we think our cultures to be, we're still no smarter than 9-year-olds when it comes to any public social discourse on the realities of marriage. Being a parent ranks up there too.

LOL any relationship is a bit of work no sacrificing and sharing intimacies etc
How exhausting :D

Any single young ladies who are mind readers reading this, holla!
