Like 3%? I am talking about good, loving partners who love their spouse, loves their kids, have good jobs and are not abusing drugs. I am saying like 90% have something really bad about the relationship. One partner is a cheater, one is a liar or a adulterer. One is using drugs. Damn almost all are messed up.

In my experience with the people I've known:
50% divorce
20% don't particularly like each other but stay together as roommates for the kids, financial security, or religious reasons, etc.
20% like each other more or less. But the relationship isn't what I would call great.
10% great relationship
So I would say 30% have a decent or better relationship.

Happily married 38 years and still going strong. Life has up's and downs. There are no perfect marriages, drugs and alcohol would definitely put a hurting on it.

Marriage isn't easy that's why so many quit.
Was the intimacy always good during those 38 years at least?

I cant answer for pretzelman but for me and many guts I know when kids are young and or when your wife is overstressed with work and a household intimacy is often not a priority as it was when you were courting.

0%. People are imperfect. They will always have problems. If you were looking for the perfect marriage or perfect spouse, you’ll be disappointment no matter what.

To me that is unacceptable. Intimacy and sexual compatibility is very important even as things get more hectic and busy. I don’t want to marry a woman who won’t put out regularly (sure there will be times when someone doesn’t feel like it etc. but it needs to be regular etc.). Just my personal feelings otherwise I never want to get married

If you have a healthy relationship, then this won't be an issue as your wife will feel comfortable letting you know if/when she is having a rough day or week and won't have the fear of backlash from her husband. And you will have been open with her about how you're feeling regarding the topic.
My wife and I (married 12 years) are, and have been, very open about our wants/needs. The few times things got stressed in that arena are when we each thought the other was a mind reader. I thought my wife KNEW that I needed sexual intimacy on a certain day while she though I KNEW she didn't because she had a rough day or whatever. Once we got over that, it's never been an issue again.

When/if you have young kids you are in for a rude awakening my friend. Your relationship needs to be strong enough to weather periods of inactivity otherwise you will be in a lot of trouble.

Then you won't be getting married. Simple as that.
