Why is everybody else so bad at marriage?
-Women in their prime are encouraged to go to school - instead of having children first and then going to school. Women are even less likely to get married after schooling
-women are encouraged to play male roles and brainwashed into hating female roles
-rampant obesity
-rampant cultural polygamy
-divorce culture and alimony
-welfare
-abortion
People play life like a game according to the rules that are in place. Our current situation doesnt allow ~70 of society to succeed at marriage anymore.

It has been my experience, while anecdotal, that often external factors compel people to remain married, such as for financial reasons such as they are reliant on their spouses income or to conserve the family unit in cases with children. The reality is it a major financial blow to someone to go through a divorce. While often the financial impact disproportionately effects males it is a hardship for both parties. This is further complicated with potential governmental outdated bylaws that could impose additional penalties on divorcees.
While I am "happily" married and have been now for 5 years I would not recommend it to anyone.
*edit -my wife's parents divorced after a 38 year marriage... her mother is a 71 year old divorced woman living alone, I would assume you all could imagine how financially devastating that was for her.
Some people succeed and thrive still. But not many. It really doesnt look good for most.
