50% of marriages say otherwise. But beware, the other 50% of marriages end in death of one or both parties.

Jokes on you; when technology allows, me and my partner are going to end our marriage by melding into a supermech powerrangers style and our wedding rings will fuse to become a laser cannon

Those numbers are old, btw. The numbers got skewed when people were finally legally able to divorce each other freely in the 70s and without much social stigma. Modern divorce rate is more like 25-35% So that's a good chance that wedding ring will stay on :)

My spouse and I aren't married but we've been together for almost 30 years. No wedding ring for us but so far none of us has tried to kill the other ;)
