Is love enough to warrant a huge gamble?

Marriage can be a risk/reward type of deal. It can go blissfully peaceful for many many years and then come crashing down horribly. Is it worth it? Why? Seriously, why?

I am asking and probably will ask many more relationship/marriage questions because I am contemplating it and I get sweats every time I think too hard about it. Nothing else makes me break a sweat more than this topic. I’ve witnessed so many bad divorces and so few happily-ever-after marriages. My parents were married young and were together till death a few years ago. I would love to live something similar. Yet, America has the greatest rate of divorces than any other country. The scales of justice in divorce courts seem to be unfairly tipped in favor of the females. It terrifies me to think about this stuff. I’m hoping with your insight, maybe I can see through the fog.
