Dan Moller defends what he calls "the bachelor's argument", which is an "argument against marriage". Emphasizing that not everyone who marries is guaranteed a happy and successful outcome, such as a happy and loving marriage. If we followed the bachelor's argument as if it were a standard set in stone, not giving marriage a chance could lead to the loss of a truth because they never had the chance to marry the person they thought they loved and could have a lasting relationship . Moller's argument is not sufficient to reject marriage as a whole because it only highlights the things that could go wrong in a marriage and how difficult it would be to break free from such a commitment. According to Moller placing a person in the peculiar The situation of a loveless marriage is not necessary if they do not get married in the first place. Moller points out that people should consider that “in countries where getting a 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 frequent of over 50 %. ” (Moller, An Argument Against Marriage Pg 80). Statistics have a strong influence on Muller's decision on why people should not get married. Just because divorces are more common in cultures where there is no stigma for doing so, it should not be a reason for people to hold back from giving up their chances of establishing a successful marriage. Statistics in the Fox News report "High school graduation rates plummet below 50% in some US cities" Just because half of high school students don't graduate in some cities, that doesn't mean half of all incoming freshmen simply have to drop out of high school. because there is a 50 percent chance that they will win... mid-card... the relationship will be successful. The inability to be able to ensure a successful relationship is what distances Moller from the idea that marriages are a good idea due to how easily people divorce and how unpredictable humans themselves can be. People can lose interest in their spouse and get 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 prosperous relationship that will eventually create a family. If you don't set out to have a successful marriage, you won't lose anything 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 can easily divorce.
