About the Author
I'm Bobby Rio, one of the founders of TSB. I tend to write about what is on my mind so you'll find a mix of self development, social dynamics and dating articles/experiences. I am fascinated with improving our general well-being. It can be done. It must be done. Find me on Facebook, lets talk more.
Is marriage and institution that is in decay?
I would have thought so, but it seems everyone I know is still lining up. At least my stupid friend are. But I guess thousands of years of social conditioning are at play.
The Divorce Calculator
To help people understand how divorce differs based on factors like education, age of marriage, and the era in which you married, Stevenson — in partnership with divorce360.com — developed The Marriage Calculator to show these differences to the public. Moreover, this calculator lets people see how the incidence of divorce evolves throughout the life of a marriage.
The calculator uses data from the U.S. Census bureau to allow users to compare themselves to others who married about the same time period, have a similar education and have been married as long as you. With the marriage calculator, you can find out how many people with similar backgrounds have divorced. In addition, it estimates how many people like you are likely to get divorced in the next five years.

The only thing worse then getting married is moving in with a girl before you’re married…

You really think so Pete? I mean if you decided to live with a girlfriend and it didn’t work out, it could be a blessing because at least you’d know that your relationship cannot stand the test of time…

Just cause your relationship didn’t last through living together doesn’t mean it would have went the same had you have gotten married. Once you’re married the rules are different.

Absolutely, I see your point however, there’s no golden ticket in life & everything is situational. It sounds as if you are saying that you are opposed to both marriage and living with a significant other.
I am not saying that living with someone is always a telltale sign as to if a marriage would work or not. Nor do I feel that you have to live with someone to have a successful marriage. I just think that we can’t necessarily allow all of our negative experiences to jade us too much or we could possibly end up sabotaging something that may have had potential.
