Half of marriages end up in divorce, so why not allow same-sex marriages? Maybe they'll do better statistically?

If anyone wonders why divorces are so much higher in higher church areas consider this--Those areas in america where divorce rates are low have low, and sinking, marriage rates. So what you get is children born out of wed-lock who, when there parents separate, are never counted as victims of divorce.

The commentary that half of marriages end in divorce, while shameful, is misleading to a degree. some think it mean that half of all people who get married get divorced. That's not true HERE'S WHY--Those divorced once are more likely to divorce a second time, and those divorced twice are more likely to divorce again. So far too many divorces TRUE, but not half of all involved in marriages endure divorce.

Well technically it is not misleading. A second marriage or third or fourth, is still a marriage, and regardless of whether it has followed a divorce, if it ends in divorce, it is still a MARRIAGE that ends in DIVORCE.
