[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, don’t most divorced people have kids? And don’t most divorced people go on to remarry at least once?  Not saying it is good idea, but nearly everyone that divorces goes on and remarried at some point [/quote]

No, that was true 10-20 years ago. Plenty of divorced people do not marry now. The odds of remarriage are very low once you hit 40. [/quote]

Not true at all. I know many people that marry after 40. Most of them are financially stable, so money isn’t an issue. They just found someone they love and want to spend the rest of their days together. [/quote]

"Over nearly six decades, the remarriage rate for both men and women has decreased. Remarriage rates for men have dropped by more than half, from 90.9 remarriages in 1950 to 38.8 remarriages per 1,000 previously married men in 2017. Men’s remarriage rate peaked at 116.5 remarriages per 1,000 previously married men in 1970."

Remarriage Rate by Age Distribution, 1950-2017
Women’s remarriage rate steadily declined for every age group.
A consistent age gradient in remarriage rates exists. Women aged 15 to 24 had the highest remarriage rates, and those aged 45 and older had the lowest.  
Figure 3. Women's Remarriage Rate by Age Group, 1950-2017

The majority of those who remarry are between the ages of twenty-five and forty-four (Kreider 2006).

Remarriage was more common 10-20 years ago and earlier when people married younger the first time.
