Dude! Good random thoughts, and you deserve a thoughtful reply. Unfortunately I am really, really busy at work right now and going on call for two weeks starting tomorrow, which means it's not likely to get better any time soon so let me just throw out the following:

If 70% of divorces are initiated by women, I have to question whether women are as fond of marriage as anecdotal evidence would have it. Of course, men could just be determined to make women unhappy in droves so that they can be freed of those oh so onerous marital bonds without expending any serious effort, but then why get married in the first place? I have to think that most men don't go into marriage thinking that they will drive their wives into divorce court when the marriage becomes a drag, but it takes two people to get married and only one to file for divorce. The numbers kind of suggest that men generally like being married better than women do.

And I've got to come back to my previous point, which is that unless all these marriage happy women are marrying each other, I am thinking that the desire to marry is about proportional. And again, going back to my anecdotal evidence, I've met a lot of marriage happy men so it would seem to me that the truth doesn't quite follow the stereotype - at least not when taken in broad strokes. I know I'm quibbling with this last point, but Logic threw down the gauntlet with a rather vitriolic and not at all logical post, and people are acting like he is dealing in fact when, as far as I can tell, he is just having a fit.
