No, you don't get to ask for a citation when I'm asking you the question. "What's more likely, divorce or marriage until death?"

You answered...

> Probably, the latter.

I'd say probably the former. Neither of us has provided any data to back up those opinions but I don't think you can rationally look around you and honestly claim you've seen more people married until death than people who got divorced especially in light of people with multiple marriages. Every divorce counts and I'd certainly wager the number of divorces is greater than the number widows/widowers.

I didn't ask for a citation in response to your question, I asked that in response to your answer "Statistics" to the grandparent posts question "Who says divorce is the expected outcome of marriage?"

If your claim is that statistics say that, then where are the statistics?

[gnaritas]

Statistics would be what would answer that question, i.e. it's not a who, it's math; I wasn't claiming to have those statistics. I was trying to discuss what you thought the math was and why.
