The 50% divroce number is a BS number, one that is often quoted. Basicly 50% came from the total amount of people being divorces in a year, compaired to those being married in same year. However since the pool of all people married is much larger then those getting married each year, getting to 50% is not tough to do.

I do beleive people get married to young many times, for the wrong reasons, or without thinking much - maybe even knowing they can easily bail out.

But what do I know, I am married.
