    But I would take it as a warning sign if you both value marriage, are american, and you stay in a relationship for years without marrying. Probably means something is wrong unless there was a special reason why (like being in university).

    I don't think the statistic was made taking this into account.

      When I refer to people who do not value marriage, I meant people like some of the Swedes I know who just think marriage is an outdated institution. Obviously they will not marry even if it is 50 years... it is meaningless for them.

      I don't mean people who marry/divorce/remarry/etc. They value marriage (at least in some way).

        Yeah, but we can't really know if the 'higher failure rate if they marry after 5+ years in a relationship' applies to specific demographics...

          As an experienced survey researcher, it's all how you define your terms, word the question, and most importantly, filter your results.

            Engagement will last right below six months.

              Just out of interest, six months from now would it be a deal-breaker if she turns out to have a penis?

                    • I'm pretty sure Bugs isn't a DL. Technically I could be since I have a registration date two years after you.

                        I'm the real fiancee. Why are you pretending to be me? And as your nick suggests, I think you do have a penis...

                                What the heck are you talking about?? I'm the fiancee! Why would you say I have a penis? That's just plain rude!
