The stats seem to think only half stay married... I am a 2nd wife so I am counting on the better half :)

It's roughly 40-45%.  Depending on the year.

Sure seems like it.

They say 50 percent end in divorce and sadly 80 percent remarry to get divorced again.

Yea "most" here does sound like your mentioning alot or half. In today"s society and what is perceive is there are alot of divorce happening but if news also included happy marriages it may can be balance out hopefully. I would like to know that thier are couples that are sticking in thru thick and thin and not just when "love" fails. Im not married but im with my S0 in a very stable and going toward that way plan : ). We been an item for 9 yrs. This May it will be a decade. So the wooing & friendship is there and brimming so the next step is wedding bells ringing :). We both going in this til death do us part. I dont think couples go in expecting divorce but ones perception/understanding of marriage and what it means to respect each other and wrk through seem these days as a option of not staying together when things get too tough. I admire those that wrk thier marriage to the fullest. Marriage isnt all roses. It what u 2 make it. Its not a fairy tale. Its work. Its a beautiful history of making your love shine thru thick & thin. Alot of times we dont know each other, courting was short. We play into the hype of simpleness & fairytale. I pray that God prepare me to be the wife i need to be in & thru ups & downs.

It's sad. My husband and I were friends for a long time, dated, moved in together, got engaged after 5 years, married 2 years later, bought a house and now have a 4 month old. No previous children and neither of us were ever married before. We have a great relationship and I credit the fact that we took our time! We made a deal if things get tough, were locking ourselves in a room and talking, crying, screaming....whatever it takes to make it right. We have been together 12 years and haven't had to lock ourselves away.

It's sad how many marriages end in divorce, my parents got divorced after 43 years of marriage.  You would think after all that time they would have stuck it out but nope. 

I myself had figured I would never get married.  I have always had all male friends, always been a tomboy.  So it took me a while to realize that my best buddy liked me in more than just a friendly way.  But I think that's why it has worked out so well.  We were friends before anything.  And we just moved to the next step.  We will celebrate our 12th Anniversary in April, and I think we are doing great.  Also we didn't have kids for 8 years, so we got to spend a lot of time with just the two of us together.  I can't imagine life without my husband, it makes me sick to think of it.

Makes sense taking it slow is the best thing to do. I got pregnant after 2 months with my husband and married 4 months later. We are now getting divorced 15 years later

I think I beat statistics on this one..I been with my husband since I was 15, had a baby at 16, graduated at 18, we got married right after I graduated high school..I was 18' he was 21.. And we are still happily married to this day, 13 1/2 yrs later and pregnant with number 9!! :)

I know if you throw in the military factor, sadly the rate goes up too!!! It's scary to see all our friends getting divorced!!! I hope we best the odds..

We've been together since we were 16 and 17 had a baby at 17 and 18 and got married 3 years later.. We've been together for 16 yrs and married for 11. I wouldn't change a thing for the world!!
