I agree, the statistics seem to show that divorcees should have a huge failure rate, however all evidence seems to indicate that their judgment improves after they've been divorced, as the second marriage rate is surprisingly close to first marriages to say its composed almost entirely of people who failed the first time.
- yummyfajitas 18y agoOther statistics might show this (if so, please post them), but my model proves little. I could tweak it to get 67% second marriage failure rate (first marriage has no effect, good or bad), or 60% failure rate (first marriage adversely affects the second). More complex models are possible too. My point is simply that the numbers provided prove nothing.
- JoelSutherland 18y agoThey certainly prove that someone who has been divorced and remarries is still worse at staying married than the person who has not been divorced. I don't think that is nothing.
