From the Paper:

"When a traditional Western man and woman decide to marry, most intend that it will be forever. Regardless of the length of time of the engagement, the intentions are usually genuine, and each is relatively certain that he or she is prepared for the commitment of marriage. However, in the United States, over 50 percent of all marriages end in divorce, evidencing the fact that regardless of a couple's intentions, the reality of struggling, adjusting, and forgiving proves overwhelming in at least half of all marriages."
