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.
