I've always been curious about that stat. You see it a lot but how skewed is it? I want to know how many of those marriages that are listed as failed involved people who had been married before vs how many people are on their first marriage.

Put a couple people that are on their 6th or 8th marriage into the mix and that stat could get skewed pretty fast.
