The percentage of marriages that end in divorce varies depending on the source, but most estimates fall between 40% and 50% . It is important to note that this statistic is often misinterpreted and misreported, and the risk of divorce significantly differs according to age, race, socioeconomic levels, and other factors. For example, the divorce rate for second marriages is even higher, with approximately 60-67% of second marriages ending in divorce, and 73% of third marriages ending in divorce. Additionally, couples who marry before the age of 25 or who have experienced divorce and then remarry are more likely to get divorced again. However, it is also worth noting that divorce rates have been declining in recent years, and more than half of couples work through issues and stay together for the long term.
