Is love really the secret to a long lasting marriage?

[Arabella_Rose]

If So, then why do almost half of all marriages end in divorce?

[TheFlak38]

no the secret is freedom. when you give women rights and freedom they use this freedom to fuck your life and then replace you with a man who will abuse her again. When it is financially rewarding for a woman to get a divorce (alway at the expense of the man of course) why would any woman stay married? Why should we be surprised that 80% of divorces are initiated by women? It's life on tutorial mode. She sits on her ass all day and the man works for her like formal slave. Then she can call a few black guys to bang her on a regular basis and that's it. Retirement plan secured.

Maybe men just make bad husbands

[TheFlak38]

if a woman ends up with a drunkard or woman beater or whatever that's on her and her dumb female instincts for picking the worst man she could find just because women are by nature attracted to drama, while the husband material is "boring" and not dangerous enough to make the area between her legs wet. It's alpha fucks beta bucks every time. The sister of my dad's girlfriend is married to a hard-working man who doesn't drink, goes to church and is everything a woman should wish for. But of course this is not exciting enough. I was fucking her in the car every morning after she dropped the kids at school while her husband was working his ass off to bring bread to the table. That's what a woman does when you give her freedom. She cucks you.

Love isn’t the secret

[SamFromFL]

Women tend to marry up

[Arabella_Rose]

men tend to like to marry down

[SamFromFL]

Of course

[Arabella_Rose]

thats also the biggest reason why men lose more upon divorce when husband and wife's assets are split in half

[On_cloud_wine]

And effort and communication.. respect and patience

[Anonymous]

Love communication, respect and a willingness to work on it...

To answer your other question, I don't know, why don't you ask the women that divorce, because 80% of all divorces are initiated by the woman, and abuse from the husband as well as infidelity from the husband are almost never a factor, it's almost always she got bored and found someone new..

[Arabella_Rose]

Maybe men want to divorce but don’t want to because they are afraid of losing half their assets

[Opinion Owner]

Thats possible.. But men who were talked to about this, 90% of the time never knew it was coming.

Honestly if divorce happens. You should leave the marriage with what you came into it with. Meaning if you came into it with nothing, you leave it with nothing.

[Arabella_Rose]

Men tend to marry down. Women tend to marry up, this is why men lose more money due to divorce.

[Opinion Owner]

You just proved female hypergamy. It's sexism in any case though, unless you're one of those that don't believe men and women are equal.

[Arabella_Rose]

Men prefer marrying down actually

[Opinion Owner]

you say that as if you speak for all men.. Its not that we like to marry down, its that how much a woman makes is not a factor in our relationship decisions.

[Arabella_Rose]

Nobody is forcing you to marry down. You just want to marry down

[Opinion Owner]

Again telling me what I want as if you speak for me.. Not a good thing.

I think being really good friends for a while helps first

[msc545]

Not related to love.

[In_Trance]
