No thanks, the Bible is wrong in my case. I'm very, very happy living alone and not having to live with a woman and trying to put up with her always judging or belittling me and other annoying bs off her. Considering that in the past a woman has described me as an abortion that lived, I know all too well what I'm talking about.
I like to think that there are still a few good women left who don't make a habit of belittling their men and referring to them as "an abortion that lived" or the like. In fact, I know there are. But a man has to be worthy of them.
It's wierd because I hear this all the time but the young men I know all want to get married. My son and his friends are in their early 20's and want to (not NOW...but they talk about by age 30 or so) and all my daughters serious bf's have wanted to get married, 3 of them so far, and she has been the one who says it's not what she wants.

What kind of **** world do you live in? If women are referring to you as an abortion that lived, they might be on to something.
The women may have done the filing...but were they the ones 'causing' the divorce?
I can think of two instances off the top of my head where the men cheated and the wife had to file the paperwork because he was too 'busy' or just didn't want to do it. According to those statistics, she would be to blame but it wasn't exactly her fault the marriage ended.
As for the article, I've noticed people my age (late 20s) are simply taking more time to make the decision to get married, and they seem to be waiting a bit longer. If you had asked me in my early 20s if I ever wanted to get married, I would have said no as well. Now that I'm a bit older I'm giving the idea a bit more thought.
Not a bad point, but with no fault divorce it's difficult to get a real answer. Finances are usually the #1 reason, but then look at the Netherlands 15% divorce rate. They don't allow for no fault divorce though, for better or worse...
Speaking for myself, I can't think of a reason to get married unless the girl was making more than me and that would rule out my current girl...
Well I am 35 and just getting married this year...maybe seeing that we are living longer people are deciding to wait till they are in their 30s to get married. Has that ever crossed your mind Western?
Sure, but I don't buy it. The prime years of natural fertility - and all the sexual powers and attractions that go with it - haven't changed, even if the average lifespan has increased.

Hugh Hefner is 90 and still able to make a baby. For men you can make a baby till the day you die, my wife is a few years younger than me, but a couple can still have a kid between the ages 27-35, it just becomes a bit more risky the older a woman gets past 35.

1. What's a "**** world"?
2. No one has ever referred to me as "an abortion that lived". You're confusing me with Stillwater Townie.
