Can’t Spell Idiot With Out I Do in Marriage

What the hell is that supposed to mean you can’t spell idiot without I do?

Are you saying that you must be an idiot if you say I do?

Is that what you are saying? Really? Wow what a bummer.

Why the negativity you ask (that is what you asked right?) Well I am sure(how can you really be sure?) that by now you have seen the most recent stats which basically put the failure rate of people who get married at about 50%.

That’s right the statistics say that if you get married today(don’t do it or aaah congratulations) that the chances that you get divorced are approximately 50%(that’s 1 in 2 couples will be divorced within 15 years).

I would send you to the specific sites but that’s not why I am here(why are you here).

Well I live here that’s why.

Oh whats my point. Is there a point? Or am I just trying to spook prospective newlyweds and further depress any married couples who are fighting to keep it together.

Neither but both were great guesses and thanks for playing along. The point is that with odds like this 1 in 2 will fail how does the institution of marriage continue to survive.

Why are people getting married?

Do you have to be an idiot to get married in the face(is there a face) of these depressing stats.

Can you imagine 50%?

If the Bungee jump ride had such a success/failure rate think anyone would try it?

Even Russian roulette has much better odds.

Ok Ok I know both these comparisons involved risk of death and divorce may suck for all involved but nobody has to die(right)?

How about the casinos the slot machines usually are set to pay something like 85-95% back (of course that is just the average including the rare jackpot).

Would you buy a house if the odds were 50% that you would lose it?

Nonetheless people are getting married in large numbers and many times on more than one occasion(the numbers are worse for 2nd marriages).

Heck even Gay people are clamoring to get married(suckers) what do you think the divorce rates will be for gay marriages higher lower same?(take a guess) Idiots or not gay or straight, people continue to forge head first into marriage all full of love and hope but to give your marriage the best opportunity to not only survive these odds but thrive despite them make sure you invest in that relationship and Our Date Night can help.

As For me I’m no idiot, I said I will take her as my wife.
