Marrying the right person is the answer. No way of knowing who the right person is however. Sometimes it is being the right person but even that is no guarantee. The best spouse can be married to a addict, good luck making that work.

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.

Of course YOU have to be the "right person" too, otherwise don't bother...

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.

The Divorce Rate is in the 30% range...it has never been close to 50 (Urban Legend) and nowhere remotely close to 65%.

Those numbers are drummed up by those justifying their counter-culture existence.

Quite a few academic and media reports have put that to bed recently (as a corollary to the Gay Marriage debate). Lies, damn lies, and statistics (primarily the interpretation thereof).

What you cited is the most flawed argument of them all.

I never said it was the marriages' fault. It's these (American / European ) societal changes.

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.
