2017 - Statistics


Statistics. They're fun but can you believe them? Well here's some from an article called 7 ways to divorce proof your marriage. A few of them are no brainers. Some are weird.

1. Quit Smoking

2. Take Up Optometry (..some professions seem to be almost divorce-proof..)

3. Share Chores

4. Live in a Blue State (..residents of more conservative states are more likely to get divorced..)

5. Hang Out With People Who Aren’t Divorced

6. Marry Someone You Met at School

7. Have Sons (..having even one daughter increases a couple’s chances of divorce..) There go those damn trouble making girls again!

Go read the whole thing. It's not a long article.

I wonder about optermists.

Big Sky Heidi said...

The 'hanging out with people who aren't divorced' one is a no-brainer.

If Tennessee becomes a blue state, will its divorce rate go down?

The blue state/red state thing is strange, since fundamentalists are so opposed to divorce.

Optometry?
My goodness I shouldn't be so happy in my marriage according to this. Oh oh.

Statistics are like bikinis: They reveal a lot, but also cover certain important facts too.

8. Don't get married in the first place.

Duck - Yes it is.

Angel - Hey, are you messing with us or just spelling bad?

Heidi - There's probably a huge lag time on the change over.

King - Opposed in theory.

Peg - It's not late for you AND Rick to go into optometry.

Grand - I like that saying.

Jay - How long can you hold out?
