Interesting. Of course, if you look at my very small, very unscientific survey from the early 70's (see above) the divorce rate between our three couples was 66 2/3%
Between my two daughters who married in the late 90's/early 00's, one is divorced and one isn't. 50% divorce rate.
Of course, if you look at my wife's family, there's only one divorce out of four marriages. 25%.
Looking at my family, the success rate is 100%. I'm an only child.
Of course my mom and dad were divorced.
In the new adult community we just moved to, it seems like we're the only couple that hasn't been divorced at least once. Probably 90%.
So, if you forget the previous sentence which is a SWAG (swingin' wild ass guess), out of the ten identified marriages (including my parents) there were five divorces. 50%.
What does that prove? Beats me. Except that statistics can be confusing.
