Anyway I will not remarry unless it’s for money and expecting to divorce.

Anything else is just not realistic in modern times.

The number is bumped up a lot by people who have been married already 2, 3, 4+ times.


Remove them, people who just got married once, the stats are pretty good.

The often-cited statistic that "56% of marriages end in divorce" is a bit misleading and doesn't take into account various factors that significantly influence marital stability. Research has shown that certain behaviors and demographic factors can drastically lower the likelihood of divorce.

Here are some of the factors that have been found to decrease the probability of divorce:

1. **Education**: Couples who have completed high school and especially those with higher education (college degrees) have lower divorce rates. For example, college-educated women have about a 25% chance of divorcing after 20 years of marriage, compared to nearly 50% for those with only a high school diploma.

2. **Religious Involvement**: Regular participation in religious activities has been associated with lower divorce rates. Couples who attend religious services frequently tend to have stronger marital stability.

3. **Premarital Births**: Couples who have children before marriage have a higher risk of divorce. Conversely, couples who wait until after marriage to have children generally have a lower risk.

4. **Age at Marriage**: Marrying at an older age (mid-20s and older) is associated with lower divorce rates compared to those who marry younger.

When you account for these factors, the likelihood of divorce decreases substantially. For example, some studies suggest that among those who marry after age 25, attend church regularly, and have a college education, the divorce rate can be as low as 20-30%.

In short, the general divorce statistic doesn't apply uniformly across all demographics. When controlling for factors like education, religious involvement, age at marriage, and whether a couple had children before or after marriage, the divorce rate can be significantly lower than the commonly quoted figure.

My parents have been married 36 years. That is all.
When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.

Sometimes when you look at who is married, it's not even a surprise that so many people get divorced.

I'm at that age where most people are getting married and I'm single as ever - and the amount of people who are complete idiots, yet are getting married, is astronomical.

Like you know someone with a serious attitude problem, and you wonder, "who would EVER put up with this person for any extended period of time"? Yeah, THAT sort of thing.

Marriage is something that takes patience and compromise - so how can someone who thinks that they're 'the celebrity in the relationship' stay married to another person? Answer is that they can't - so they get divorced.

I'm surprised that the divorce rate isn't higher, considering the absolute amount of idiots out there - not even in the intellectual space, but in emotional space (i.e., people with control issues).

People stay married for money and kids. That’s why it’s not higher.

If people won the Powerball they would all get divorced.

Well yeah, but I'm still surprised that it's not higher. Most people are absolute idiots who think the world revolves around them. Not even in a fully concious state, just subconsciously. The typical person (not even NPD) will be your friend until you get something good or THEY lose face in some way, and then you become their enemy. How can the closest person to them do any better if they hate people who are not even that close to them emotionally?

Look at how someone treats their enemy and you'll see how they treat you at some point.

If I remember correctly first time marriages are like 30% or so. And with each divorce you are statistically more likely to divorce again.



I do know a few guys on their third wife that are quite happy. And I think things will work out for them now that they are older though.

Remove them, people who just got married once, the stats are pretty good.
I'm not sure about that. Lawyer did say 86% get married again 5 years later and it's much more successful

You also didn't take into account miserable people sticking together just because of kids, fear of divorce, and finances. If you did, it'd be 75%

Yeah a marriage can fail in more ways than divorce. Plenty of marriages are adulterous or sexless or people just hating each other but not getting divorced for practical reasons.
