It’s an Aerosmith song that comes to mind as i write this. I worked late last night and since I was alone, I figured I’d surf the net a bit, not sure what I was surfing for. Somehow I found myself typing ‘divorce rates’ and hit search. Suffice to say, I found enough stats to dampen my day. But here’s one site that takes the cake http://www.nomarriage.com. If you thought YOU were cynical, check out this guy’s (once you start reading, you’ll gather that he’s male) website. Some disturbing phrases (however the truth and credibility behind each statement is highly debatable so don’t take anything to heart – then again, only a moron with half a brain would):

* 4 out of 5 men regret marrying.
Divorce rate is around 60%. Majority of remaining married men are stuck in sexless marriages with nagging and bitching wives, but they choose not to divorce because they are afraid of being wiped out financially during divorce.

*Foreign women from South America, Eastern Europe, and Asia make much better wives than American women.
Dating or being married to an American woman is like driving a beat-up Ford Escort. If you are only used to driving a beat-up Ford Escort, then you have no idea what it feels like when you drive a Bentley or Ferrari.
·*Is this website about all American/Western women?
Women to avoid are women interested in Career, Personal Success, Personal Growth, Finding Themselves, and Self-improvement. That includes all career women and the majority of other North American and Western European women. I mostly use "American woman" throughout the website because it bacame synonymous with everything that is wrong with modern women. Substitute American with British, Canadian, Australian, etc if you don't live in the US.


Trust me, the content gets more twisted. He even has a book, yours for only $9.95. I don’t think he hates women, he just hates American women. Actually, come to think of it, he hates women who can take care of themselves.

Jerk.


There were so many jaw-dropping statements throughout the article that I began to think that writer was most likely dropped on his head when he was born. Heck if anything, I found myself defending marriage after reading his crap!

The million-dollar question would probably be why was I looking up information on divorce rates? Just curious I guess. I mean, I respect the idea of marriage and I consider it a sacred union. But it’s such a huge risk. Isn’t there a foolproof way of making sure you marry the right one? Hell, what does 'the right one' mean anyway? I know couples who have been married for more than 20 years and then wake up one morning and decide, “Gee you’re starting to annoy me. Buh-bye.” Yikes. Twenty years? Just like that?

Buying the wrong dress in the wrong colour, I can handle. Ordering a meal that tastes like feet, I’ll survive. Choosing the wrong mobile service provider, hey shit happens. But marrying the wrong guy? I really don’t like the way people consider divorce as an easy option out. I’ve seen it one too many times. The only way to reduce the likelihood of divorcing is to marry the right person.

It’s not exactly rocket science.

Ok enough talk. Happy song for the day:

“Dreams last for so long, even after you’re gone. I know you love me and soon you will see, you were meant for me. Like I was meant for you.”
