- I'm Timothy.
- I'm Mikey.
- We've been together for three and a half years.
- My name is Wyatt.
- And my name's Roxanne.
- And we've been together for about a year and a half now.
- And today we're playing True or False: Divorce Statistics.
(electronic rock riff)
- I don't understand when people
don't believe in divorce 'cause
if it needs to happen, it's for the best.
- I feel like divorce, if for the right reasons,
is important.
I mean, it's...
- It has it's place.
- Let's play True or False: Divorce Statistics.
- People under 50 get divorced at almost
twice the rate as people 50 and over.
- I'm gonna say true.
- True
(upbeat music)
- I feel like old people think that you
have to stay married and
stay in unhappy relationships a lot more.
- I was thinking more like,
kids finally went to college, let's call it.
- People be getting married so fast these days.
- Yeah, exactly.
- Women get married again after divorce or death
of a spouse more often than men.
- Alright, I'll go with true.
- True on this.
(buzzer sound)
(upbeat music)
- I probably would, but who knows.
- I can see that.
I feel like women take a pretty long time
to either work on themselves or just
mourn or be sad about the relationship that's ended.
Whereas men are probably usually more hype
to just get back in the game.
- Yeah, it's like that meme where it's the guy
the first week after they break up, the guy's like,
he's like free and liberated and then three months passes
and he's crying and the girls all free.
- It's switched, but he's quick to rebound.
- Since 2000, the overall US divorce rate
has been on a slight decline.
- I don't think so.
- False.
(light upbeat music)
- Whoa!
- Dang!
- Maybe they're thinking a little more logically
before getting married.
- I thought more people would be getting divorced.
I guess that's good; that's a good thing.
- That is a good thing though.
- When asked whether divorce is usually the best solution
when a couple can't seem
to work out their marriage problems,
ten percent of women, 44 years and younger,
said they strongly disagree.
- I guess that's true.
I feel like most young people probably think
that there's a better solution.
- I think it's true.
- I'm gonna say true.
(buzzer sound)
(upbeat music)
- I've gotten every single one of these wrong.
- That's kinda crazy.
- That's pretty crazy.
- I mean the other option is going to therapy
and learning how to talk to each other so...
- The majority of men and women aged 44 and younger
disagreed with the statement,
"marriage has not worked out for most people I know."
- I'm gonna go false.
- (upbeat music)
- I got it.
- You know, I'm just rollin' with the punches here.
I'm gonna get one of these, I know it.
- Dang! We're horrible at this game
- We're bad at this, right?
- A 2013 Brown University study found
that 75 percent of the participants were more likely
to be divorced if they had divorced friends.
- I think this one's false.
- I'm gonna go with true.
- Really?
(upbeat music)
- [Producer] True.
- Yeah.
- What, okay.
- I felt like it's true, definitely.
'Cause like if your friends are divorced,
you might just be thinking about it like
oh yeah maybe I can be divorced.
- I don't need my man.
- Yeah exactly, yeah exactly, like I don't need
my person if they can deal without their person.
Second and third marriages are more likely
to end in divorce than first marriages are.
- I think it's...
- Ah that's a tricky one.
- I can see happening.
- I can see it both ways.
- You're getting divorced like two or three times maybe
you're just gonna be unhappy in all of them.
- You're gonna get divorced in all of them
so imma say true.
- I'm just gonna go with false.
(upbeat music)
- That makes sense.
- Does it?
- Yeah 'cause the first one you're like
really holding out, and the other one's just like
I've survived this before
- Been there done that.
- Yeah.
- Research studies suggest that living together
before marriage decreases a couple's likelihood
of divorce.
- I think that's true.
- That's true.
- That's big facts.
(buzzer sound)
- [Producer] False.
- False?
- What?
- [Producer] Yes.
(upbeat music)
- Oh so it's like this then.
- Oh okay I was gonna say that's crazy!
- I feel like its definitely important to live
with your partner before marriage.
- It's definitely important.
I'm super clean, someone else is not super clean.
- So then you get to like learn your partners quirks
and like how they're actually like on a daily basis.
- Exactly.
- Not just like what they choose to show you.
- And sometimes those little things can
be a deal breaker to be honest.
- Ow.
(dramatic music)
- I think so.
- She says yes, I say no.
- I don't know it's just like a legal precaution
like why would you want to come after my money
if we get a divorce anyway, you know?
- No, I know but like, you have to go into it
thinking you're never gonna get divorced anyways, so..
- You know, I probably would suggest that.
- I was gonna say like we're not rich,
so like why bother, but
- I see it more as like it's just easier,
in the event that two people get separated.
- Yeah that makes sense.
- Then you're just like, that's it, you know?
- Okay, we're getting a prenup.
