What is the divorce rate in America? Why do white people and everybody else suck at marriage?

Question

I know why, and it is because Americans can never get along. Also, when 1 spouse starts a fit, the other backfires trying to prove his or her point. It is such a pathetic situation, and what is more pathetic is that peple think they always have the right 1 when in fact they do not. DATING DOES NOT WORK!!

Answer 1

Why did you post the question if you already know the answer? You give the name underwear modle and asked if you were cuter than Jhonny Depp. the answer is NO and Jhonny Depp isn't that cute.Keep dreaming

Answer 2

As I understand it, statistically the divorce rate nationwide is roughly 50%. That gives you no better than a 50/50 chance of making it. Sad figures, really, but it's simplistic to chalk it up to a mere unwillingness to get along. Sometimes our initial strategies were so flawed from the beginning that no matter how valiantly we play the cards we're dealt we're doomed to fail miserably. Consider this: you're tasked with driving a long, winding obstacle course full of orange cones and monster curves. Your objective is to finish the course without knocking down any cones, and for some strange reason, you decide to drive the course with your feet on the steering wheel. It doesn't matter how sincere you are about it, or how much you desparately want to achieve it, chances are good you're going to knock down some cones! Similarly we sometimes approach marriage with an equally flaw-filled manner...and no matter how sincerely we approached the situation, we're going to knock down some cones because our execution was jacked-up from the start. Getting married too young is driving with your feet. Getting married without general life experience is driving with your feet. Not asking the right questions of our partners upfront is the same thing, or not having education or resources to support oneself and a family is driving with your feet. The list of potential mess ups is endless because ( think about it) they never teach you how to be married in high school. So if you start with a flawed strategy, sooner or later, it's bound to turn to crap. That doesn't make you bad people, just unwise. And since the statistics ( as we've examined) are roughly 50%, we know that this applies to most of us.It doesn't necessarily follow that dating doesn't work ( in other words, that's not a logical conclusion to draw from these stats), because dating and marriage are inherently different. In fact, quite the opposite is true. There wouldn't be any marriages to fail if people weren't first dating, and we both know that isn't true...there's no shortage of people attempting marriage, just a shortage of marriage success stories. I don't profess to have the answers to that dilemma; the issue is truly larger than I am. But it is an attempt to explain why we "suck" at marriage, as you requested.
