The numbers I have seen are:
85% of people who get married stay married.
15% of people who get married have three or more spouses in their lifetime.
The math just about matches that 50% divorce rate lie that has become so common.
The above number as well as the author’s numbers match my own experience over 60 years or so.

90% of people marry and stay married. (90 marriages and no divorces out of 100 people).
10% of people get married and divorced 10 times each (100 marriages and 100 divorces out of 100 people).
That’s 190 marriages and 100 divorces, which can falsely be taken as that more than a third of marriages end in divorce.
