Yes, I'd say it's better to never marry than to get married and divorce. Not only would it have saved my family a heck of a lot of money, but it would have saved me from a lot of stress.
Naturally, his family didn't chip in for the wedding or reception or anything but the rehearsal dinner. So it barely cost his side of the family a thing. We paid for everything.

Most people don't get married planning for the divorce, but yes, if you know that your marriage will end up in a divorce it is best not to get married, because speaking from experience, no matter how much you can't stand the guy at the end of your marriage, divorce is still one of the hardest things you will ever go through in your life....especially if there is a child involved. And don't think just because you get divorced that your relationship ends there if you have children together, you will always somehow be connected. Think it through very carefully is all I can say.

Yes! By looking at divorce rates below who really has commit issues people who have never been married or married people. It could just be people who never been married are smarter in finding the right person to commit with.

That's like asking, "Is it better to never leave the house than to go out and get run over by a bus?"
One cannot plan life by avoiding life. Anything embarked upon has to be with the best intentions and with due optimism. Relationships can end for many reasons - even long marriages can end because the couple have simply grown apart (not necessarily because of wrong-doing on either part) and the relationship has become too stale to be saved. This does not negate the happy times and the good achievements of the partnership and should not be seen as failure - just "one of those things."

Well, I've been engaged a couple of times, and then I was so sure that it would work out, blah blah blah. Now, I am so glad that I didn't marry them, because the relationships ended pretty bad....a divorce would have been horrendous.
However, I would like to get married one day; I just pray to God that I marry the right one, so I don't have to worry about the big D word! :)

I married and 12 years later divorced. I am not sorry, we loved each other very much and then grew apart as life went on. We took a chance on forever and it didn't work out. I would still rather take the chance then never try at all.

No it is better to marry and try not to end in divorce. The divorce is the easy part, coping with it afterwards is another matter.

Definitely better to never marry. That's so stupid to marry when you just divorce later when you could MARRY THE RIGHT PERSON THE FIRST TIME and avoid a dysfunctional and insecure life for you and your kids.

I think it's better to marry than to marry and it end in divorce. I would be devastated.

It's hard to answer, because you never know the outcome of an uncertain event. If the marriage was successful, then the question doesn't apply. Only with unsuccessful marriages would it be applicable. If you knew the chances of a successful marriage were nil, then it would certainly be better to have never been married.
