Yeah. Of course you don't get any guarantees there.
What is interesting is that studies have shown that the divorce rate has actually declined, although the pope may take cold comfort from that stat. Two of the main reasons are that people are living together first and breaking up then rather than later and fewer people are getting married in the first place.
