Quantifying Marriage
If the sanctity of marriage was actually something society valued, more rigorous studies of why marriages fail or succeed would likely be funded and performed. Luis Von Ahn points out some sketchy data from eHarmony on predicting the outcomes of dating/marriage. eHarmony has some stats from its service and a subset of its patrons, but a more believable study would cast a wider net (and not aim to support the business model of a dating service). So who’s willing to answer a lot of detailed and prying questions about their marriage(s) for the sake of science?
