So it may be true that 50% of modern marriages end in divorce. But that doesn't mean your marriage has a 1 in 2 chance of failure (as if you were flipping a coin or rolling a dice)....
Women nowadays take that to mean that they can literally do whatever they please, without any consequences or censure. Marriage these days has a one in two chance of failure. I honestly cant think why anyone would want to get married anymore. Its simply not worth the risk, esp as a man, who certainly will lose his house if he owns one, the child support, which she uses on otherthings, the alimony, think of that,she cheats and you pay for the rest of your life! I should know, happened to me.
Divorce is one of the deepest, most evil types of betrayal there is. Just because the world is so degenerate that 1 in 2 men (or women) are betrayed so deeply, that does't mean your wife will do the same (provided she is a good woman and you have a strong marriage).
Let me ask you something: Do you ever worry that your son or daughter will murder you? (of course you don't)
Now, what if you were forced to move your family to a country where 50% of fathers were murdered by their children. Would you now be worried that your children would eventually kill you?
Of course you wouldn't. Because you know and trust your children well enough to know they would never do that, regardless of what the world around them is doing.
Same goes for a wife. If you truly know her and trust her, why would you need to worry that she will betray you?
Additionally, your comment about losing money and property in the divorce encourages men to have a cynical attitude, as well as not having their priorities straight.
I can't comment on your particular situation, but if a man thinking of getting married is already calculating in his head how much money/property he will lose in the divorce, then perhaps he is not ready for the deep spiritual union and self-sacrifice that is marriage. Such a man would be a worldly man concerned primarily with worldly things. He would also be a cynical man expecting his wife to betray him as well as any children they may have together.
If you believe a woman will betray you and break up her family for the sake of fleeting sexual pleasure, why marry her? If all women were like that, then obviously no man should ever get married. But to claim all women are evil is to accuse God of creating a creature (made in His image, none the less) who is inherently evil.
