how many people read a study about the divorce rate ?

I can can tell you life experience. Both of my parents were married 3 times. The first marriage for my mom only lasted a few years. She was 18 when she married, and only got married to get out of her house. The second marriage lasted 8 years, she loved her husband, but he was unfaithful and he left her for the other woman, and her third marriage is on it's 21 year this year.

My father was married 8 years the first time, cheated his wife left him, 8 years the second time, cheated and left her for his 3rd wife to be, and was on his 18 year when he passed away with his 3 wife. He didn't travel for his job anymore, so cheating was unlikely the 3rd time.

I have been married for almost 9 years. So far so good. It's my first and hopefully one and only marriage.

You can do studies, but really it all depends on the people involved. If you don't resolve the issue that caused your first marriage to fail, then more than likely, none of your marriages will work.

i've read a ton about the divorce rate, the remarrying rate, the rate of couples separating and getting back together rate, divorced children rate, etc.

and yes if you fail at 2 marriages, failing at the 3rd is highly probable. but that mostly has to do with people not actually dealing with their "baggage".

I don't, i don't want to compare my marriage to other failing marriages. Though it's only been three years of being married, i don't care to read the study. I have strong faith in my marriage.

I don't believe in studies so much. My father married 6 times and the 6th one has lasted for over 25 years. Think you have to find the 'right match' for you, plus my dad learned much about himself and changed what he didn't like.

most divorces are serial divorces they just keep remarrying and getting divorced
