Perhaps worth noting: that "60% of marriages end in divorce" number is quirky when you pull back the skin.
60% of marriages end in divorce, but most people who marry do not get divorced from their first marriage. The 60% number is bumped out due to the segment of the population that get married 3 or 4 times.
- anoncoward111 8y agoInteresting, thank you :) I'm still seeing divorce rates of 30-40% for first marriages, depending on generation. Anecdotally, I know a lot of people who are either divorced in their 30s, or still unmarried in their 30s. Considering the difficulties a woman has conceiving beyond their mid 30s, I think the explanation is here in our faces. My grandma had 5 kids and was married at 19.
