That's kind of funny; the cynical old priest pissing on the sacrament of marriage as he is about to wed 2 people.
So basically, if you get married these days, you have a 50/50 shot of getting divorced, and if you do, on average it will come after 8 years.
I would like to see the stat for marriage survival rates after, say, 10 years.
I.E., how many marriages end in divorce after 10 years of marriage.
I bet it's a small number, as in, if you a couple makes it to the decade mark, they'll stay together forever. Although even then, you do hear about divorces after many years of marriage so who knows.
