In America there is one divorce every 13 seconds

Post by jamesbond »

That equates to 277 divorces per hour, 6,646 divorces per day, 46,523 divorces per week, and 2,419,196 divorces per year. That means:

There are 9 divorces in the time it takes for a couple to recite their wedding vows (2 minutes).

More than 554 divorces occur during your typical romantic comedy movie (2 hours).

1,385 divorces happen during the average wedding reception (5 hours).

There are 19,353,568 divorces over the course of an average first marriage that ends in divorce (8 years).

Over a 40 year period, 67 percent of first marriages terminate.

The average first marriage that ends in divorce lasts about 8 years.

People wait an average of three years after a divorce to remarry (if they remarry at all).

If both you and your partner have had previous marriages, you are 90 percent more likely to get divorced than if this had been the first marriage for both
of you.

According to Nicholas Wolfinger in “Understanding the Divorce Cycleâ€￾, the risk of divorce is 50 percent higher when one spouse comes from a
divorced home and 200 percent higher when both partners do.

The average age for couples going through their first divorce is 30 years old.

41 percent of all first marriages end in divorce.

60 percent of second marriages end in divorce.

73 percent of all third marriages end in divorce.
