Studies show that nearly 50% of marriages end in divorce.
Fortunately, the end of your marriage isn't the end of your life or the end of love. You must decide, despite the pain and upheaval, that you will survive and your life will be good again.
Just to flip the perspective a bit on the whole military divorce rate thing: There’s also a huge incentive to get married in the first place. Getting married gets you Basic Allowance for Housing which is a monthly stipend for the average cost of living in your zip code. This is a couple thousand bucks a month just for getting a marriage certificate.
You also get to bring your spouse with you to other duty stations when you inevitably have to move.
