    That statistic applies to all marriages and not to first marriages, also iirc it was only for a few years. Divorce rates have been on a generally downward trajectory for quite a while

      all marriages would include first marraiges, what you’re trying to say is that people who divorce, are more likely to divorce more than once, several times even. Which disproportionately pushes up the divorce rate.

      Now would be a good time to pull stats for first marriage divorce if there are any good ones.
