Dan Moller defends what he calls the "bachelor's argument", which is an "argument against marriage". Pointing out that not everyone who gets married is guaranteed a happy and successful outcome, such as a happy and loving marriage. If we followed the bachelor argument as if it were a standard set in stone, not giving marriage a chance could eventually lead to the undoing of one of them, since they never had the chance to marry the person they thought they loved. and could have a lasting relationship. Moller's argument is not enough to reject marriage as a whole, as it simply highlights the things that could go wrong in a marriage and how difficult it would be to get out of such a commitment. According to Moller, placing a person in a particular situation of a loveless marriage is not necessary if they do not get married in the first place. Moller mentions that people should consider that "in countries where divorce is not difficult and does not carry much social stigma, a large number of people choose to divorce [...] the rate is typical of over 40% and common by more than 50%. » (Moller, An Argument Against Marriage page 80). Statistics have a great influence on Muller's decision as to why people should not marry. Just because divorce is more common in cultures where there is no stigma doesn't mean people are reluctant to give up their chances of a successful marriage. Statistics from Fox News report "High School Graduation Rates Drop Below 50% in Some U.S. Cities." Just because half of high school seniors don't graduate in some cities doesn't mean half of all incoming freshmen should just drop out of high school. because there is a 50 percent chance they will win... middle of paper ... the operation will succeed. The inability to be able to ensure a successful relationship is what pushes Moller away from the idea that marriages are a good idea due to the ease with which people divorce and the unpredictability of humans themselves . People can lose interest in their spouse and find themselves stuck in a loveless relationship, which is unnecessary and could be avoided if people didn't get married in the first place. However, marriage is not a gamble like a game of Russian roulette, it is a relationship built on the hope of having a successful relationship that will eventually create a family. If one does not intend to have a successful marriage, one will lose nothing if things work out and the couple loves each other. They will lose more if they never try. If for some reason things don't work out, they might as well divorce..
