When you look at the divorce stats they don't make pretty reading. Something like 50-60% of marriages end in seperation or divorce. Thats not good odds no matter how you look at it.

I know I could take a shot, its just such a gamble. I'm pretty happy in life as it is.
As Wmsn4life said, you aren't marrying the whole world. It doesn't matter if the divorce rate is 30% or 70%. If you make a conscious and healthy choice in a partner and both put in the necessary effort required to sustain and grow your relationship, it shouldn't matter if every other couple on the planet divorced, because other people's choices have no bearing on your marriage.
