Look on the bright side. The other 50% or so end in death.

Well, my partents just celebrated their 20th anniverary.

Oh, and my mom is a devout christian and my dad is a stout atheist. So that just goes to show that even a seemingly impossible relationship can work if you love each other and work at it. I think (and so do my parents) that people give up to easily.

Looks like I'll be falling under that 43%...and just 3 mos. until that 15yr mark.
