Yes, a majority of people nowadays do tend to throw in the towel (sorta-speak) but then, a majority of people nowadays, rush into things way too fast/quicky too.
I have one longtime on-line guy friend (another one that has advised me not to get married) he told me, awhile back that I'm one of the smartest guys around, Lol...for not being married.
When you’re saying “sorta-speak,” do you mean “so to speak “?
If marriage isn’t for you, it’s not for you. It’s good that you know that.
Plenty of people care about marriage. I have no idea why you think otherwise. Plenty of people get married. The majority of people that marry stay married to the person they marry. Divorce rates are at a 35 year+ low. Is there a reason why you seem so obsessive about people that separate?
Do you think, people care about that divorce rate when they do divorce? Nope, they do not.

Neither do they care about other people's relationships, but yet, you seem so very concerned with other people's relationships. The people that are getting divorced aren't you. It doesn't seem to make sense why it matters to you and your relationship(s).
Marriage isn’t that hard. Plenty of people manage to have happy lives together.
You have to find someone who is as resilient and dedicated to the task as you are. Once you get it rolling, it feels pretty natural. You’ll both have WTF moments. You can’t hold a grudge.
You have to agree to put your differences aside when you argue and let your marriage take precedence. So if you’re fighting over remodeling the kitchen, making a major purchase, or deciding where to spend the holidays; both of you have to say “no more fighting” and step away for a moment. Then you have to mutually decide what will be best for your long-term survival as a HAPPY couple. It’s a satisfying practice: give and take.
And if one day you want out, there is nothing she can do to stop you. And really, if you genuinely wanted out, would you support her having a way to stop you? I mean really, think about that.
And would you really want to stop her? This is a pretty good thing to reflect on. If the MARRIAGE is more important than the other person in it, then you are starting off on the wrong foot. Like a foot in the wrong zip code.
