I hate to be a kill-joy, but I’m more than a little sick of the “Gender Wars”.
What ever happened to “For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become ONE flesh.” (Caps mine.)

I don’t have to google it.
The 50% mythers use stats even more bastardized than the people they claim are misusing the numbers.
They scoff at people that site the stat that 60 people per 1000 marry in any given year compared to 30 per 1000 getting a divorce.
They say you are not taking into account all the people who have been married years before and who aren’t divorced.
Yes. YET. They are not divorced YET. That is the operative word.
They assume the people who are married in any given year will REMAIN married until death.
There is no way to know that. They may get divorced, remarried and divorced again.
Besides, you also have to take into account that these 50 and 60 year long marriages are a product of a different generation. You don’t need stats to figure out that people do not work on marriages like they used to. Or “endure” might be the more correct word, because there used to be a stigma. There isn’t any more.
You’re more likely to get a surprised reaction from someone you meet after 30 years and you tell them you’re still married. People assume you’re probably divorced.
The rate of divorce compared to marriage in any given year is valid because this indicates a trend that is much closer to reality than number manipulation.
There is also another way to calculate. Anecdotal.
If I just count my family and friends, the divorce rate is way over 50%.
For every one person I can name that is involved in an original and lasting marriage I can name one that has been divorced.
And, the ones that are in the original lasting marriage, there is no way on earth to be able to say that that marriage goes in the non-divorce column, it’s currently PENDING until the death of one of the spouses.
And regardless of the nailed down exact number, it takes an unusual point of view to try and claim that the erosion of the institution of marriage is not in severe trouble.
I know people who want to get divorced and don’t because they can’t afford to. I know married people that are simply not faithful to one another but live under the same roof.
Marriage and families are in deep, deep shit.
But back to the original point, I don’t think jokes are the reason for marriages ending.
