Have you ever actually seen this statistic? I didn't think so.

Generally I've always heard 50%, as I'm sure most of you have. I've never heard 75% as you're trying to argue, but regardless, the numbers are unfounded.

Read this article:

http://www.truthorfiction.com/rumors/d/divorce.htm

Basically, the statistics that are being presented show that roughly for every 100 marriages that occur in a year, there are also 50 divorces. This makes it look like 50% of marriages are ending in divorce, but hopefully you know more about statistics than that.
