According to a 2025 Forbes article, 43% of people married for the first time get divorced. And the percentages are 60% for second marriages and 73% for third marriages.
Factor in all the the relationship break ups that never make it to marriages, and love is like a toss of the dice.
And love can seem like a gambling casino where the odds are always stacked in favor of the house, where the dice is loaded, and the addicted gamblers usually keep playing and losing.
