I don't want to get on my doom and gloom trail again, but I've been saying that for a while now. The stats do seem to say different things at different times but they are so far off the charts that even if they are 50% off it's still terriable. The D rate for 3rd marriages is something like 75 or 80%. To that I have said, why in the world would I ever get married again? I'd have to be nuts. That's why for me, it's not as much about losing what I had as it is about losing any chance at the future I wanted.
It's almost like you have to find a partner that will agree on the ground rules or main themes that many of us now embrace:
Committment
Love is a Decision
Love will come and go. It's the committment that carries you
That "in love" feeling only lasts 6 months.
There may be a few more but if we all just agreed and followed these guides would it not all be so much easier?
4 out of 5 will end in D. Yeah, I think I'll beat those odds. Good Lord.
