"Although only 51 percent of American adults are currently married, 72 percent have been married at least once." [1] Tricky number. Roughly three out of four of people get married, but as we know half of those marriages end in divorce. The number of entrepreneurial americans is "somewhere in there" (within +-1 std) so I think it's safe to call it a push. About 0.34% of people start businesses, a small enough sample that it's hard to draw any sweeping conclusions [2]. It's probably safe to say that starting a business doesn't have a serious impact on the prior or posterior probability of marriage.
