I have taken this thread horribly off topic and so if you want to continue this discussion then I suggest making a new thread in the off-topic forum.

You are not wrong. If two people were to pick the single most statistically stable marriage in the world of Remnent then you are right. It would lose a lot of its value because it would be based on numbers and not on feelings.

Consider the most passionate marriage in all of Remnent though. Would it be worth anything if it ended after the average 11 years in the real world?

In my own personal life I feel that one needs to strike a balance. I wouldn't date somebody I hated but I also wouldn't date somebody who has a moderately high chance of divorce. I am not telling anybody how they want to live but was simply talking about my own system for determining who I might last the longest with. Thank you for your thoughts.
