I have some frends that are serial monogamists, and even though the person they are with changes up, their routines, patterns and behaviors in the relationship are so consistant its like they are just dating the same person over and over with a different face. Its like they lose the individuality.

Amazing.
If you're talking about living together, yes, the 85% statistic stands. One of the best ways of making sure that your marriage won't work is by living together first.

First marriages have a 48% chance of failing.
