Those statistics are totally the wrong ones to look at. It's "Age at marriage for those who divorce in America". You want "Divorce rate by age at marriage".

- breck 17y ago"Divorce rate by age at marriage" + the age of marriage as a percentage of all marriages (otherwise you might find 80% of marriages at age 60 are successful but fail to realize that probably accounts for a <1% of all marriages). I think it's kind of funny that we're all seeking statistics on marriage. Where are the romantics on HN?
- davi 17y agoNumerate romantics seek sanity check?
- mmc 17y agoVery good point. Finding the second breakdown seems harder. At any rate, it's still the wrong game to play for the OP.
- sokoloff 17y agoAnd presumably you want that for only first marriages.
