How do you know this?

>>Back to the marriage issue- I believe that the rate of success is so low because the maintenance and success of marriage is not prioritized. People prefer to invest their time and efforts at work over their families and the outcome is obvious. This is a moral choice. One should consider it carefully. If economical success is more important to one then marital success, then one should divert one's resources to work. If, however, one's family is more important to one, then one should put one's best efforts there.
I think people know that, and make their choices accordingly. The low rate of marital success only shows us what they think is more important. <<

I agree, except for many the choice is never a conscious one. No-one wakes up and says, "Hey, you know -- my job is a lot more important to me than my wife ..." Therein lies the problem (assuming that a failed marriage is considered to be a problem).
