Which States Remarry the Most? 2nd Marriage Statistics

The Budget Savvy Bride

In 2012, Psychology Today released a report that painted a bleak picture of marriage as it pertains to the likelihood of divorce—and the report’s statistics still ring true today. If you’re married, toss a coin. That’s the chance that you’ll wind up divorced.

The divorce rate in the United States is almost exactly 50%—but only the first time around. Those who remarry face much longer odds. The divorce rate for second marriages climbs to 67%.
