Fifty Percent of American Marriages Are Ending in Divorce-Fiction!

I have always been skeptical about the 50% of all marriages end in divorce “statistic.” I always hear 50%. I never hear 51.2% or 48% or 49.6%. They all say exactly 50%. It is obvious B.S.
I read your link. No counter number was supplied, just a great deal of speculation on the source of the number. I went to the CDC site (http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/marriage-divorce.htm) and it shows a 53% divorce rate as of 2011.
