Teenagers getting married has to have a massive failure rate. They don't even know who they are yet, let alone who they will be and what they will want in a partner when they become an adult.

It was good while it lasted,she just didn't like the hours I worked and she felt alone I presume. Good 10 years and truthfully I was ready for it to end as well, nobody loves me, more than myself. ( No pun intended btw).

I got married at 19, she was 18. Been married going on 24 years this December with 2 adult children. I think a lot has to do with the maturity level of the individuals and how willing are they to communicate and problem solve with each other. Most of marriage is communication and problem solving.

When teen marriage was more common (most of human history) divorce was far less common. And from my view being married for 40 years, if we all spent less time worrying about what we wanted from our partner and more time on how we could better serve our partner, marriages would be just fine.

I think more youngsters should get married. No one is ready. You’re raging with hormones and I think that’s the good Lord’s design. Instead we tell our youth to sit down and stay in horny jail and wonder why they’re all addicted to porn. Get married and go at like rabbits I say!!

Well yes, that's a pretty obvious statement. All of humanity would be better in every way if everyone acted like that. When you find magic fairy land where most people are like that, please let me know lol. Until then, trying to find other less obvious reasons for why marriages fail and avoiding them is a useful exercise.

And there were many, many miserable marriages 100 years ago and beyond, often due to teens being married off to someone who was a terrible match for them before they were anywhere near emotionally developed enough to deal with such an arrangement; they would have just been socially crucified if they divorced and women had no way to support themselves, so they stayed miserably married. It's not like people have changed and marriages were just so much happier ordeals throughout history until now, it's just a lot more socially acceptable to divorce now than it ever has been, so people (especially women) feel more empowered to leave the misery than they ever have.

A sales job and football game are two completely different worlds. Drive to dominate the man in front of you is a different drive than it takes to have the most sales numbers. This is silly.

I really don't think the salesman and football comparison works at all. Salesmen convince people and smooze them. I doubt a quarterback could talk Al Wilson into not ripping his head off.
I do think that Al would make an excellent car salesman. Al to a showroom of car shoppers, "All y'all are buying cars right now and nobody gets hurt."
