Maybe they just report the facts per the American Psychological Association?

“Marriage and divorce are both common experiences. In Western cultures, more than 90 percent of people marry by age 50. Healthy marriages are good for couples’ mental and physical health. They are also good for children; growing up in a happy home protects children from mental, physical, educational and social problems. However, about 40 to 50 percent of married couples in the United States divorce. The divorce rate for subsequent marriages is even higher.”

Why ………………. make up statistics?

It is amazing how this urban myth just keeps going round and round. It's mostly perpetuated in churches by preachers intent on making people know how utterly sinful they are. Not that we aren't sinful, I have lustful (but brief) thoughts every day (thank God He is very very good at helping me keep my hands to myself!!).

Divorce rate is around 50%

Google it

What makes that less relevant is:

70-80% of blacks don’t marry

55% of Latinos

25% or less of whites and orientals

Yeah... That’s not even close to being true.

It's not quite half, closer to 40%, according to the latest statistics on marriages and divorces.
