How To Tell If You’re Going To Get Divorced One Day

While the common belief that the divorce rate is rising is false, if the current rate continues, about a third of marriages will end in divorce.

Every marriage is, of course, unique, but there are a few factors that can be predictive of the likelihood that a given marriage will end.

McKinley Irvin's research addresses life after divorce as well. Apparently, 6% of couples end up remarrying after divorce — nope, it doesn't only happen in movies.
