7. I've been married for most of my life.

And my own personal divorce rate of 50% probably mirrors the national average fairly accurately.

I've seen people point to the divorce rate on occasion to argue that marriage an institution is failing.

But I think this is a faulty argument. I know people who have been divorced and remarried 3 or 4 times. The fact that people keep trying points to the strength of the institution, not the weakness. If marriage were failing, folks would be giving up after the first attempt.
