• 4 in 5 of us will be married at least once
• 1 in 3 will be divorced at least once

Here’s an interesting comment by George Barna, director of the study:

“There no longer seems to be much of a stigma attached to divorce; it is now seen as an unavoidable rite of passage,” the researcher indicated. “Interviews with young adults suggest that they want their initial marriage to last, but are not particularly optimistic about that possibility. There is also evidence that many young people are moving toward embracing the idea of serial marriage, in which a person gets married two or three times, seeking a different partner for each phase of their adult life.”

What do you think of these statistics? Do agree that many see divorce as “unavoidable” or even as part of a natural progression through adult life?
