That's not true. In the US, the rate that's frequently quoted is 50%, but even that is higher than reality. The divorce rate is actually closer to 40%. Where did you even here that?
Think about it. If 80% of marriages ended in divorce, then most people you know would either have divorced parents or be divorced themselves. Unless you meet all your friends at divorcee social clubs, his obviously isn't the case. Maybe you should look up statistics before you post them, or at least think about them a little harder.
That is my point. Everyone I have known comes from divorced family and or divorced themselves. Almost all the people in my family and friends family as divorced. I started seeing it when I was 8 and it seemed to become more frequent as I grew up. Also no these are people I met growing up and that I have known for a couple of years from when they are younger. They are not all going to bars getting high like you think. Also that was the statistic posted when I checked. They have done a couple of studies on this.
How do you know? Did that statistic come specifically from people who said they would never marry, got married, and then got divorced. I highly doubt it.
Is it normal that people get married after saying they'll never marry?

It has been shown in recent years that 80% of marriages end in divorce. I do not see how that new information is aiding anything?

I just checked it. Could you post a link to the statistic you found? Because I can't find that number anywhere.
