I have no idea if they are true or from reliable sources, but thought they were worth sharing:
- A divorce in the U.S. occurs every 10-13 seconds
- 75% of divorced people remarry within 5 years
- Ends in divorce:
- 50% of 1st marriages
- 67% of 2nd marriages
- 74% of 3rd marriages
- Military wives 2x as likely to end their marriages as military husbands
- Number 1 cause of divorce: financial stress
- Massachusetts has the lowest divorce rate
- Co-habitating couples are at a higher risk for divorce
- Dancers are more likely to get divorced than waitpersons
- If your sibling gets divorced, you are 22% more likely to get divorced
- A divorce where parents continue to get along and have good relationships with the children is considered a “good divorce”
Given the prevalence and reality of divorce, why not strive for a “good divorce!”
