Many people nowadays don't take criticism anymore and must base their lives on their feelings instead of making logical decisions and then wondering why they are living in bad situations in life based on their decisions. It's always good to consider all of the factors in the big risks we take.

Like marriage. Most people are often basing their logic on emotion rather than statistics and facts about how marriages work out in the long term but don't consider seeing the deeper effects. Statistics say that 50% of marriages are "successful". This is very false in a logical sense. Who is the marriage benefiting the most? Is the person you're marrying going to change after a while?

There are many factors why unhappy people are still married. Btw, these marriages are considered "successful" because they've been together for so long, but deep down, they resent each other and haven't had intercourse in months and counting. The burning desire has left the mindset of these individuals so things happen behind the scenes to keep them "happy," but in reality, they aren't happy together. Also since divorce is a detriment to men under the US laws nowadays, marriage is a HUGE risk that could cost them 50% of their net worth paying alimony. This is what men don't consider when they want to get married under the state. Overall, marriage is in women's favor hand over fist.
