But the link you provide unfortunately doesn't provide any actual numbers to prove their case. They seem to be making an assumption about where the stat comes from like 3 million marriages in 1996 and 3 million divorces - that means 50% but that's not where the statistic is coming from albeit it may be an interesting coincidence.The number should not be that hard to find - you calculate all the marriages over say a ten year period and you have to track EACH marriage and if and when they divorce how many years they were married etc. So 1,000,000 marriages over a 50 year period and find out if and when they divorced.
I'm kind of surprised many of the numbers seem a bit wishy washy - perhaps due to people moving out of state etc or privacy issues.
But this has been done to a degree here. It does seem to be getting better though as people are waiting longer and being more SURE of their choice. So that's a positive anyway.
I have to see these numbers were surprising:
"2008 voter data shows that "red" states (states that tend to vote Republican), have higher divorce rates than "blue" states (states that tend to vote Democrat).The Barna Research Group measured divorce statistics by religion. They found that 29 percent of Baptists are divorced (the highest for a US religious group), while only 21 percent of atheists/agnostics were divorced (the lowest)."
