I would guess that it's under 10%, and that neither of you will bet against me.

I understand that in cultures where parents arrange their offspring's marriage the divorce is even lower than that. Now what?

I also know that the divorce rate in my home is zero percent. Maybe everybody should emulate me! 8 ^ )

I have three brothers, all are married and no divorces, I am on my second marriage and no divorces. One brother married at 22 to a woman who is considered by almost everyone who knows her to be the worst mistake my brother ever made. They have one child and are still married. One brother married at 28 to a woman he lived with for several years before marriage. One child, still married. One brother married at around 42 (can't recall exactly) to a woman he had lived with for twenty years already. No children, still married.
The point of all this is you cannot generalize about these things. I could point out others I have known who say they never had sex until the wedding night and the marriage didn't make it until the second night but that would prove nothing.
My own theory is that some people like my family simply don't know how to quit a commitment once it is made and others find it very easy to do so. I think that makes as much sense as most other theories.
