in fact everybody i know that went and got married and had kids in their 20's have split up with children less than ten years old.
They would probably have split up even faster if they weren't married. At least their kids got ten (or less) years of support out of the relationship. Just like anything in life the harder it is to do something, the less likely it is for the person to carry through, the more likely they will stop and think about alternatives. I don't see how marriage contributes to fall of relationship in this instance. If anything it encourages people to resolve their differences, because the punishment is heavy if they do not.
Also don't forget about the legal rights of children and cultural significance of marriage I mentioned earlier.
Don't cry, don't regret and don't blame
Weak find the whip, willing find freedom
Towards the sun, carry your name
In warm hands you are given
Ask the wind for the way
Uncertainty's gone, your path will unravel
Accept all as it is and do not blame
God or the Devil
