First or second marriage? Heh heh heh...

First marriages may see lower numbers of premarital sex, but the second and third could be skewing this considerably.

It's like the divorce rate. First marriage failure rates are a lot lower than the overall marriage failure rate.

My second, her first. And you are right about the stats. I remember hearing Paul Harvey talking about the divorce rate. He said it was 50% or so. But he went on to say that with some people having 2, 3, 4, and some more marriages, the real stat is that 75% of marriages actually survive.

Figures lie and liars figure.
