Add your answer and earn points. About one-third of the overall proportion of all first marriages end in divorce. The answer is letter D. The real reason behind this divorce is that the couples did not have enough time to know themselves better before marriage.
A. about 25 percent of marriages are remarriages for one or both of the spouses. B. most people remarry within two years of a divorce. C. men are more likely to remarry than are women.
Approximately 40% of all marriages made in the US will end in divorce or separation. Nevada was the state with the highest divorce rate in the US in 2021, with 4.2 divorces on 1,000 of the population. The divorce rate in the US is the 6th highest in the world. The divorce rates among US citizens older than 50 have almost doubled since the 1990s.
A. about 25 percent of marriages are remarriages for one or both of the spouses. B. most people remarry within two years of a divorce. C. men are more likely to remarry than are women. D. remarriage is more likely after 40.
After reviewing numerous sources, it appears that about 10 percent of all marriages end in divorce during the first five years and another 10 percent by the tenth year. Thus, half of all divorces are within the first ten years. (Keep in mind this is mixing the disparate college vs. non-college group rates.)
It is now clear that the divorce rate in first marriages probably peaked at about 40 percent for first marriages around 1980 and has been declining since to about 30 percent in the early 2000s. This is a dramatic difference. Rather than viewing marriage as a 50-50 shot in the dark it can be viewed as having a 70 percent likelihood of succeeding. But even to use that kind of generalization, i.e., one simple statistic for all marriages, grossly distorts what is actually going on.
A similar abuse of statistical analysis led to the conclusion that 60 percent of all second marriages ended in divorce.
One report indicated that the divorce rate for remarried, white women is 15 percent after three years and 25 percent after five years. This ongoing study indicated a definite slowing of the rate over time but did not have enough years measured to draw more long-term conclusions.
When you compare what has happened to those relationships when the child is 2 years old, 30 percent of the cohabiting couples are no longer together while only 6 percent of the married couples are divorced.
The 30 percent divorce rate is not reached until the 18th year of marriage and the 40 percent rate is not reached until the 50th year of marriage!
Thus, my take on this limited amount of data is that divorce rates for second marriages may not be very different than those for first marriages. So my small sample of friends, who remarried older, had college degrees, and joint incomes, is probably not a distorted view of the success rate of second marriages.
B. most people remarry within two years of a divorce.
