I came across somethoing on MSN page today talking about bunch of percentage showing what makes a marriage last or fail, here is it: Blending families—20 percent of marriages with kids from prior relationships end in divorce. Second/third marriages—90 percent of these couples are likely to separate or divorce. Age—If a man is under 25 when he marries or if he’s nine or more years older than his wife, he’s twice as likely to get a divorce than a man who is older than 25 or closer in age to his wife. Desire to have children—If the women has a much stronger desire to have kids than her spouse, the marriage is not likely to succeed. Relationship status of parents—If couples come from separated or divorced parents, 17 percent were headed toward the same result, as compared to 10 percent who come from stable homes. Smoking—Relationships in which only one person smokes is also a factor toward failure. Money—The root of all evil? Well not exactly, but 16 percent of self-reported "poor" relationships in which the man was unemployed ended in separation or divorce. Only 9 percent of couples who had a healthy bank account went south. - Copy from MSN today page My husband and I this marriage has hit 4 out of 7! What about you?
