Marriage is when two people make a committment not to quit when the inevitable hard times arrive. If you want to build something, you need this foundation. If you want to mess about and get a cat with a houseplant then stay boyfriend / girlfriend.

I dated. I had girlfriends nut none stuck until I met my wife. I ended up out in the countryside with Tinder as my main outlet. I swiped every day for 5 years, living off absolute scraps but eventually I found my perfect other half. There's a plan for you, never the timing you want but always the timing you need. If marriage is something you want, you'll find it.

You know that widely held statistic about how 50% of all marriages end in divorce?

Not quite.

About 60% of all first marriages succeed.

If you are over 25, college educated and have low financial stress the number jumps to 80%.

The data is skewed heavily by baby boomers (higher divorce rates) and serial divorcees. Roughly 70% of second and third marriages fail.

Despite current cultural beliefs marriage is good and healthy and on average creates higher satisfaction in both men and women who participate in it.
