I know this is patently obvious to most of us here at RVF, but I came across this article a short while ago on Google News and had to share.

I really think marriage is only best for beta males paired with beta females, who should consider themselves lucky not to reach old age alone.

Among the newlyweds, 47% of husbands and 38% of wives said they had doubts. The study, published online in the Journal of Family Psychology, found that about 10% more husbands than wives had doubts, but the women's inklings of trouble better predicted divorce.
Among women, 19% who reported pre-wedding doubts were divorced four years later, compared with 8% who didn't report having doubts. For husbands, 14% who reported doubts were divorced four years later, compared with 9% who didn't report doubts.
