YOU’RE IN LOVE

Aw February, the love month, when flowers and chocolates flow like promises.  Except that your promises won’t rot and die like the flowers or get crunched in half and eaten whole like chocolate. 

At least that is the plan.   Believe me, I love that plan.  I’ve got the same plan going myself so hooray and many happy returns to us.  And, so far, things are looking our way.  We made it past the December/January mine fields, the most popular months for breaking up.    So, love is in the air, and everything is perfect.  Except the statistics.  The statistics are not perfect. 

Ask a married couple you know the following question: “Hey, married peeps, I know you’re still madly in love and everything is wonderful, but, um, do you ever feel like you are on a death march?  Like you’re trudging onward through the sleet and mud and darkness of night while all around you other married couples are dropping like flies?”  If they answer yes it is because while 6.8 out of 1000 people got married in 2013 over half that many, 3.6, got divorced.
