    GenX here, using the 80/20 rule 80% of my friend’s marriages (probably higher %) have ended in divorce. Typically after kids are involved. :-/

        First off, he’s an excellent couple’s counselor and, sure, all his friends went to him, but their divorces are not his fault!

        Look, I touched the bride’s butt once at the reception. Never living that down am I?

        Feel slightly attacked here… I was maid of honor ONCE and that marriage lasted less than a year.

        My spouse on the other hand: twice. Both marriages have lasted (so far) between 5-10 years, seem to be in best health and another friend asked him to be best man for his anniversary marriage (this time for the church).

        I often joke that people should choose more carefully.

      Conclusion: kids are the cause of 60% of divorces.

      When you consider that they’re also the main contributor to overpopulation, the conclusion is inescapable:

      We need a worldwide moriatum on procreation and possibly an immediate and comprehensive culling of everyone currently younger than 8.

      Anyways, vote Viking Hippie for county treasurer!

      Among my friends 100% of divorces were proceeded by getting married…
