I'm a bit surprised to see the conclusions on this post getting so much love on HN. Let's assume it's tongue in cheek that the author says the best marriage is when "you've been dating at least 3 years before getting engaged, making a combined $125k salary, go to church together regularly, and don’t worry about your partner’s wealth nor looks". All the data says is that those happen to be some attributes of long lasting marriages and not necessarily when combined together. How can we know what about the pressures of a marriage where the the couple can't afford to go away on a Honeymoon? What social pressures could there be on a couple that spend over $20k on a wedding? How can we know about the stigma of ending a religious marriage when you go to church every week and invite 200 people to your wedding? Most importantly - there's zero information about the quality of the marriage...
