Remarriage Statistics

How often divorced couples marry during their 40s? Close to 80% of people tend to remarry after divorce or the loss of a partner. A majority of them are well past 40. So, the incidence of divorced couples getting into a second marriage after 40 is significantly high.
Coming Together After a Legal Separation
