Is it True That 50% of Marriages End in Divorce?
The divorce rate in America reached it’s peak and people started to say that about 50% of marriages ended in divorce. The statistics around divorce continued to shock many Americans who stood for the institute of marriage. As it turns out, most people can’t stick it out for better or worse til death do them part.

The institution of marriage was a big part of living the American dream, when a married couple could afford to live comfortable life. However as the cost of living increases and wages bec...
Is it True That Twins Skip a Generation?
It’s common for people to claim that twins skip a generation, especially if there are already twins in the family. For years, the belief that twins skip a generation has been floating around. While some instances prove this is the case, some also prove that twins do not skip a generation. Sometimes twins skip a generation and sometimes they don’t. This had led some to say that twins are not genetic and some still believe that they are. The ways genes are passed down could explain why people have seen twins skip a generation in their own families. It also explains why a family with twins, won’t always see another set. The truth lies somewhere in between genetics and happenstance. Twins don’t always run in families and sometimes never occur again during a whole l...
Is it True That First Love Never Dies?
Many people say that a first love never dies. Truthfully, most people can recall their first love and do so fondly. Does that mean that first love never dies? Is it because it’s true love? According to movies, that could be the case. Is it really true though? Movies like The Notebook are filled with first love never dies sentiments. The mother in that movie even took her daughter (from another man) to see the man she called her first true love. She talks in that scene about how first love never dies as she cries over the man she could have married. Given this happens a lot, it seems common for women (and men) to pine after their first love or any love lost. Are people supposed to stay with their first love? Are they supposed to go the extra mile to make that first love work?...
Is it True That Everyone Has a Twin?
While obviously not everyone has an identical twin, according to experts, it could be true that everyone has a twin that at least looks just like them. We’ve all seen someone we have mistaken for someone else, and many of us have even been mistaken for another person. The theory that everyone has a doppelganger somewhere in the world has been around for a while, but it wasn’t until we started to understand more about human genes and genetics that we learned it could be true. Does everyone have a twin? No one can say it for certain but the notion that everyone out there looks very similar to at least one other person is a definite possibility. Since most of us have the same genetic makeup, it’s highly likely that our face and the rest of our looks could be nearly identic...
Is it True That Opposites Attract?
If you ask Paula Abdul, yes – it is true that opposites attract. And many other people who have found love with their opposites would also agree. In spite of the evidence, what we know about humans and our brain tells us that the truth about whether or not opposites attract is much more complicated than it may seem. Do opposites attract? The answer to this age old question is yes, but also no. Over the years many studies have been conducted to see if people are in fact attracted to opposites. While many of these studies have found evidence that opposites do attract, they also found evidence that people are actually attracted to people who are more similar to them. Researchers have not been able to prove one way or the other. Instead, they have dug a little deeper into what type...
