Though divorce is a big problem, it isn't as large as most people think. The oft-quoted "one of two marriages ends in divorce" fails to make a crucial distinction: It's not referring to first marriages but to all marriages. A sizable percentage of total marriages and an even greater percentage of divorces are by people who have been married and divorced multiple times. A relatively small group of people skew the numbers.

Interesting! And actually, heartening.
