Avoid other crew members...it's all globe-hopping fun on your days off until you have kids. After that it's probably 90% divorce rate unless somebody quits flying.

marriage is already a temporary relationship that can be dissolved by either party without the consent of the other in today's world. This is how we have wanted it and there is no going back.

Personally, I don't plan on ever getting married. The divorce rate is only going to go up.
Traditional marriage is a thing of the past.

For a man, there is really very little benefit to getting married these days (taxes / spousal legal benefits), but there are way more downsides. Hell, courts throw out pre-nups when they feel like it as well. Society has largely become socially anti-male.
My statistics were hyperbole obviously, but look at the source of the study and their agenda when you read someones.
