You’ll notice I didn’t use the word happiness in my post above.
So you’re arguing with something I didn’t say number 1.
Number 2, the oft quoted 50% statistic is skewed high by serial divo...
Marriage is a construct created by God. Meant emulate Christ and his Church. These are its roots. It’s not a tax break. This is what @HODL is getting at, I believe. That marriage construct is still being fulfilled by sinful and broken people, but if you’ll die to yourself, realize life is more than just about you, if you get out of your own way, there’s real life to be had. You’ll obtain that for yourself, your spouse, and you’ll demonstrate and teach it to your offspring. There’s nothing like it. Bitcoin makes this perspective so much easier to wrestle with when Dad works 1 job, mom stays home and raises the kids, and there’s time at the end of the day to enjoy one another and the community.
