Most Americans marry just once, according to new census data. The survey of 3 million households shows 76% of those who have ever been married have married only once. The Census also reports that the average U.S. marriage lasts 18.2 years.
Could that actually be true?
If so, what encouraging news!

I hope that’s true too. I don’t understand stats most of the time. Why do some sound good and others sound so bad all on the same subject?

That’s an encouraging statistic that should be shouted from the rooftops.
I have always heard about the 50% divorce rate, even among Christians.
Thanks for putting it out there Ed.
An,
I’ve wondered the same thing. I think some of it has to do with when the polls are taken and what specific group they test.
It does require discernment.

Tyrone,
Those are the statistics I’ve often heard as well. That’s why I thought this statistic noteworthy!
