Just when you thought it was safe....
The U.S. Census Bureau says my marriage is not divorce-proof. Do they know something I don't? The figures they've come up with put the lie to the myth that once you've reached the 10-year matrimonial time-post, you can relax a little. Nope.
According to a USA Today story from earlier this week, we hear that the hard work of staying put goes on and on:
"People are at risk of divorce throughout their marriages. That risk probably peaks in years 5 through 10," says Andrew Cherlin, a sociology professor at Johns Hopkins University.
But making it to the 10th doesn't mean a couple won't split, Cherlin says. "Lots of divorces are occurring after the first decade of marriage." Go to http://www.usatoday.com/news/health/2007-09-19-divorce-census_N.htm for more details.
I've been married 26 years now, and it's better than it's ever been.
But I guess Sue could still screw it up.

I got separated after 30 years of marriage.MY 2 adult kids moved out and on and then spouse and I had nothing left in common..just an empty, empty nest. When all yours finally leave and it's just you and Sue in your small apartment with no distractions and nowhere to run to, nowhere to hide- beware.
I know someone going through he__ right now and she's been married to a man for twenty years. The marriage is falling apart because of infidelities. There's just so much a spouse can take.
Just say it! HELL!!!
Censors?? That work for you?
f*&k yeah! H E double hockey sticks my ass
