Saying 'I Do' for the Second Time?
We all know the numbers: 40% to 50% of first marriages end in divorce, according to the American Psychological Association. The divorce rate for second marriages is even higher – closer to 70%, and people over age 50 make up more than 25% of divorces in the U.S.
However, 80% of the people who divorce remarry, according to the Pew Research Center, especially those aged 55 and older.
