Does Anyone Know the Number?
So it seems that the holiday season is a popular engagement season. (No, nothing here to report... Kate is still hanging out with Tom, she needs to hang in a few more months for the prenup to properly kick in.)
But of the 5 couples I actually know that have gotten engaged since mid November, two have already either called it off or put it on hold. So I now ponder the thought...
50+% of marriages end in divorce. (100% end in either divorce or death, just to point out the obvious)
What % of engagements end in marriage? Does time of year make a difference?
Do we have an engagement problem in society rather than a marriage/divorce problem?
If I were to extrapolate the numbers of my extremely small test group we would get this picture....
5 engagements
-2 that never make it to the altar.
=3 marriages
-1.5 ish that end in divorce
=1.5 out of 5 that end in death.
Not a very good number.

don't know alot about engagement/marriage stats in particular, but it seems as if relationships in general are a bit difficult at this time of year...I know of about 3 relationships (pretty steady ones too) that have fallen apart since November....
I stand corrected...a lot is two words...everyone makes mistakes though...thanks for the correction. :)
