You know that widely held statistic about how 50% of all marriages end in divorce? Not quite. About 60% of all first marriages succeed. If you are over 25, college educated and have low financial stress the number jumps to 80%. The data is skewed heavily by baby boomers (higher divorce rates) and serial divorcees. Roughly 70% of second and third marriages fail. Despite current cultural beliefs marriage is good and healthy and on average creates higher satisfaction in both men and women who participate in it.

Marriage is not always a happy experience, and it requires hard work, but is profoundly rewarding. Statistics showing how many of ANYTHING fail are meant to steer people away from trying.

I’ve never heard this counter argument or these numbers relating to healthy marriage before. It’s interesting and sounds correct, is there a place you can point for us to look into the data?
Yo. @HODL today after I read this I learned that 1 in 1500 couples who pray together regularly get a divorce. Mind blown. We should put that in our pipes and smoke it.

No, don't. She was absolutely horrid. Let her burn in peace. Look at pictures of pretty flowers, instead, and save yourself the lobotomy.

That adds up. I don't have a single good friend that is divorced. None in my gen X friend group. I know several boomers though and no gen y divorced. Many of these couples had divorced parents though. Most are on 10 plus years. Kinda wild really
