Living with a boyfriend/girlfriend gives you a better sense of who your partner is and will make for a stronger marriage down the road. Fact: In general, couples who have not lived together before marriage have healthier and more successful marriages. They also have less conflict, less abuse and are less likely to get divorced than couples who live together before marriage." That's because the people who realized they couldn't live together never got married. They figured it out before they took that leap, so that statistic is skewed. “4.

Divorce == Violent Crime. How about we say that a murderer is a murderer whether he has committed one murder or 500? But the number of murderers per-capita doesn't change if the murderer keeps on. It's a straw-man argument otherwise. If you're going to fail at marriage, is it fair to the general population to continue using you as a metric for divorce statistics? Since the rate of re-divorce is significantly higher than the rate of first-time divorce, it makes a natural categorical split. Should the fact that people get remarried and re-divorced make up a significant factor on what the "first-time divorce" rate is? Perhaps Dr Diana should have posted that little fact, but it hardly makes her statement fallacious. Nice logic there Jimmy Sims. Divorce == Violent Crime.

Of marriages in this country, about 52% end in divorce. Your logic would be like calculating the murder rate without counting any deaths after the first murder by each criminal.
