I once read a statistic that around 90% of people get married at some point in their life. I don't know how accurate this is, but this would suggest that most people who WANT to get married, will get married. That has certainly been my experience. When I first got married (at 35), I had several friends who were single, many of whom were quite idiosyncratic, so I had trouble finding people to fix them up with. You know what? Within five years ALL of them were married or engaged. It seemed like once they decided they really were ready to get married, they found someone. As I always say, there's a lid for every pot.
