Your Chances of Getting Divorced


  Half of all marriages end in divorce!

We hear this all the time. It may or may not be quite true, but let's say it is.

Given this state of affairs, people assume that every happy couple walking down the aisle faces a fifty percent chance of ending up divorced.

And that isn't true at all.

Wait a minute. I can do the math. Fifty percent of couples tying the knot today will eventually divorce. So if I get married, I have only a fifty percent chance of making it "till death do us part." Right?

Wrong.
