Do 50% of Marriages Really End in Divorce?
You've probably heard someone say it, or maybe you've said it yourself: "Fifty percent of marriages end in divorce." That's a pretty depressing statistic, especially for couples who are engaged or newlyweds. "Flip a coin," this almost seems to say, "Heads, you stay married. Tails, you don't."

Does Marriage Matter?
A recent article for The Frisky asked 15 women currently in long term relationships why they chose not to marry.

Miley Cyrus recently told the Associated Press that "I'm not trying to be 'slutty'... [I'm trying] to make a point with my record and look consistent." Usually, having to defend yourself from accusations of being "slutty" is not a good sign.
