Some people are, some people are. Both my wife and I come from families in which our parents and our grandparents have all stayed together and are in happy relationships. The 50%+ divorce rate is a little misleading in regards to monogamy, as many people who divorce once end up getting married and divorced multiple times (like this woman, for example). These people drive the divorce rates up.Originally posted by VetLegion
Well marriages were created back when people lived 20-30 years on average, so in practice they didn't last much longer than 10 years.
Perhaps humans aren't biologically set up to have long marriages. But perhaps they are. I don't know.
I think that the "solution" to divorce would be to make it harder for people to get married. At least in the U.S., I know too many people who jump in and get married after six months or so of dating. It's no wonder that so many people get divorced; I can't imagine that these impulse marriages last very long.
Besides, I think that this law is worthless. If people love each other, then they're going to stay married. If they don't, then they'll get divorced. The seven year "expiration" seems pointlessI'm about to get aroused from watching the pokemon and that's awesome. - PekkaComment

It would make a good cash grab for the government.
I'm not sure it would accomplish the stated goals. I worry it might actually have the opposite effect."I have never killed a man, but I have read many obituaries with great pleasure." - Clarence Darrow

Yes they do. On the plus side, though, you get to fart far sooner than they do. I pulled the fart card within 5 weks of dating (I'm a flatulent guy and couldn't hold it any more). Girl farts are worth it if that means that you can fart yourself.Originally posted by Lorizael

Yeah, I could do with a weekend marriage maybe every week or two - enough time to get the housework done
