Damn - 30 minutes in and the guy is eloquent and interesting.
TLDR : GET A PRENUP - for$2,000 you can save millions in legal fees. 56% of marriages end in divorce- and likely another 20% of marriages are “just to avoid divorce”
“what other contract has such power ofver your life, but almost zero warning? None”
56% of marriages end in divorce, but the serial divorcee effect is real.
The first-marriage divorce rate is lower than the second-marriage rate, which is lower than the third-marriage rate. Some people just can't stop fucking up, which messes with the statistics.
I present the story of six boomers, married 9 times. Five of them are on year 35+ of marriage, while the sixth was divorced three times.
You could say their divorce rate was 33%, or that if you were to be one of the six, you'd have a 16% chance of getting divorced. Both statements are equally true, but they provide different information.
Don't be a selfish dick, and don't marry a turbo-thot, and you've got a better chance of dying of natural causes in your eighties with woman you've spent the last 50 years at your side than the numbers would leave you to believe.
