About that 50% chance of divorce thing...

It turns out that if your household earns more than 25K and you have a college education, your odds of getting divorced, once married, are about 20-30%, which are about the same odds as in 1950.

People susceptible to higher divorce rates are young, poor, and uneducated.

On a personal level, I am becoming more and more convinced that it is not only possible to meet the right person at the wrong time, it is also possible to meet the wrong person at the right time.

Yep, I'd agree with that.

There wouldn't be so many bad marriages if it wasn't possible to meet the wrong person at the right time :) I think of officemate and pantsless...
