I would think those entering marriage and seriously considering the real-life consequences would lead to more success.
Again, a spouse dying is not only a possibility, it is a certainty. Are the tattoo proponents saying the surviving spouse should not remarry?

That is a whole other line of reasoning, trust me, I'm married to someone whose first spouse passed away, you know what happens? The next spouse understands.
Just because they re-marry doesnt mean the deceased first spouse is simply forgotten, you understand and move along.
Thats a far cry from a divorce where these two people might hate each other.
