Statistically, Bible Belt and red states have the highest divorce rates; blue states have the lowest. Massachusetts has the lowest of all 50. California is below average.
The divorce rate in America for first marriage, vs second or third marriage:
50% percent of first marriages, 67% of second and 74% of third marriages end in divorce, according to Jennifer Baker of the Forest Institute of Professional Psychology in Springfield, Missouri.
According to enrichment journal on the divorce rate in America:
The divorce rate in America for first marriage is 41%
The divorce rate in America for second marriage is 60%
The divorce rate in America for third marriage is 73%
“Marriage is the triumph of imagination over intelligence. Second marriage is the triumph of hope over experience.” Oscar Wilde (not that I agree entirely with him…)
As to marriage, consider Hollywood as a Red Island in a rather Blue State(mostly sunshine and Blue Sky).
As to Bible Belt, start at thirteen and stop marrying cousins when you run out of cousins.
Cheap shot, some people in Hollyweird stay married, strange but true.
