What is the percentage of married couples that will eventually get divorced?
I've been looking around online and other places, and I can't find a hard fact that says how many of couples will eventually divorce. It doesn't have to be "divorcing in under ten years," just... how many break up ever. I don't just want "I heard that most couples divorce." Anyone have a reliable source that would help me?

I think the site I visited was out dated but it stated that 47.6% end in divorce. And 50% remarried, and the length of the second marriage was less than 7 years. Just type in divorce statistics on your search engine, you'll get lots of links.

I don't have a real source to quote, but I've heard that (in the US) 52% of marriages end in divorce.

Hmmm, i think it is about 50/50 these days, or so i hear on the news or read in the newspapers! I have no idea but i intend to stay married until one of us dies. I will not be another divorce statistic!

Google "divorce statistics", you should find what you are looking for, but I was thinking it was around 65%.
