from me.
So they're all tied to love.
So do I believe in love?
I believe in love more than most people probably because
Again, you can focus on the statistic that everyone asks me about, which is what's the divorce rate?
Roughly 56% of marriages end in divorce.
That's an insane number, by the way.
Put it in perspective, Toyota in the 90s had a model vehicle that 0.0001%
had problems with the brake line, they recalled all of that model of vehicles, because that was an unacceptable risk, less than 1% unacceptable risk.
56%, if I said there's a 56% chance when we walk out of this room, you get hit in the head with a bowling ball.
You would stay in this room or you would put on a helmet, but we still get married.
And by the way, that's how many catastrophically fail in divorce.
How many stay together miserable for the kids because they don't want to give up half their stuff?
10% being nice, 20%.
Now we got a technology fail 76% of the time.
76% of the time.
There's a 76%, that's insane, okay?
And yet, that's not the number that's interesting to me.
The number that's interesting to me is that 86% of people who get divorced are remarried within five years.
Wow.
