Probably 16% of the 50% that stay married. That’s my scientific conclusion1 -

Is anyone not going to talk about the "15 year old" getting married here in these stats?
Child marriage is legal in most of the US.

Good question. It makes me realize the unrealistic standards we (or at least I) sometimes have for happiness in relationships when the reality is we’re (or at least I’m) not happy all the time when NOT in a partnership — so why expect coupledom always to be fulfilling?
I wonder if married people are happier or less happy in general than unmarried people.1 -

Men are more happy, women are less happy. The happiest demographic is unmarried women without children. An influencer told me that.1 -

I was wondering why I was inexplicably happy. Thanks. 👰♀️

Here’s one: Abor***n bans are intended to keep women (esp. WOC) and their children in extreme poverty so there will be people with no other choice but to fill low-wage jobs and/or enlist in the military (or end up in prison). Rich get richer. Poor get poorer. Child labor laws rolled back. Basic human rights stripped away.
