The Patriarchy, fixing it, talking to these women,....

Do you think conservatives never put out false or misleading findings like that? They were from religious organizations, biased. Could you imagine a church saying Christians are less happy? All it takes is stopping the survey when you get a desired result, or surveying non Christians in poor areas. That's why it's good to use peer reviewed studies like I posted. The one you posted did what is called p-hacking when doing a science experiment, it's the normal way scientists manipulate data, it's not an approved method. They retro actively re-categorized, instead of just re publishing the exact survey results. The only reason to do that is if you have an agenda, to manipulate the results. Read the second line at the top of this one, yours did the opposite "One possible explanation for the discrepancy between commitment levels among Republicans and Democrats could be that conservatives have a self-reporting bias. Commitment is strongly emphasized in the value systems of conservatives. Republicans may also face greater pressure from others to demonstrate commitment. Thus, Republicans could be more committed, or they may simply report being more committed because of a strong internalization of associated values or because of social pressure."

Just hire a matchmaker, you'll have a date every weekend.

Yep 9% higher. And this is by a Christian organization. Blacks are the highest, I think that skews liberals higher as well. I would suggest liberals value marriage less and therefore divorce easier. Conservatives, divorce is much more serious to. Louisiana, Arkansas, Tennessee, least happy states most religious, maybe unhappy marriages they won't end.

Catholics are only 52% republican

How did you realize God?

I don't say anything can happen, I say everything already is, because time isn't actually real. Every scenario already is, so from your perspective there is no magical choice ability because every choice is already made, you did win the lottery, you also didn't. The experience of you winning the lottery already is too, so is you winning the lottery upside down and inside out (infinity). You think this doesn't make sense because you think there is time, a timeline. Think of the beginning and end of time, think of before time and after the end of time - eternity. Time isn't actually real, think of the implications of eternity, whats the end of time? Time isnt real, this is what the 'timeline' would look like Infinity, all at once(which is what infinity is/ would mean) Infinity is obviously true, look at you existing, look at outer space, what limit could there ever possibly be, if you exist, how do you exist and why then would there be ANY limit to anything if you can exist out of NOTHING, outer space, galaxies, earth, nations, bacteria, out of NOTHING, how insane to believe there's limits(finitude). Think of eternity and infinity, you think you won't win the lottery? Think of eternity and infinity. E----->ternit------>y-----‐----------------------> You think you go sit in heaven for E----->ternit------>y-----‐---------------------->, really think of what eternity means, and how you, all this, is out of nothing, and then list me the limits.

Liberals don't marry as much and don't value marriage the same either, meaning lower bar to divorce or not marry. Conservative divorce is life shattering last resort.

No it's not, it says it was a survey and their employees were the researchers "according to data that researchers Brad Wilcox and Grant Bailey of the Institute for Family Studies drew from the 2024 American Family Survey." Either way, even their divorce rates on their data were close, there was no significant difference with their data.

Rock is a concept, there's actually no literal separate thing called a rock, even from a physical-science perspective, it's just a distinction around a dense clump of silica that is still ultimately directly physically as connected to you as your hand.
