Is Marriage a Risky Bet? Social Media Sparks Debate

Marriage: A Risky Proposition? A recent social media video has ignited a debate about the long-term success of marriage. The video, posted by 'Fashionably.Divorced,' claims that marriage is a 'negligent activity' citing divorce attorney James Sexton's statistic that 76% of marriages fail. The author supports this claim by stating that 'approximately half of all marriages end in divorce, and half of those who stay married do so for reasons other than happiness.' However, the author also acknowledges long-lasting marriages in her own family, adding a layer of complexity. While the video's statistics lack rigorous sourcing, it raises important questions about societal expectations and the realities of modern relationships. Experts suggest that a more nuanced approach is needed, considering factors beyond simple success or failure rates.
