Estimates show that that one-third of new marriages among younger people will end in divorce within 10 years. 43 percent of marriages will result in divorce within 15 years. The numbers are actually better than what you commonly hear, which is marriages have about a 50/50 shot of resulting in divorce. The chances of a marriage lasting without a divorce is actually a lot higher than that as shown above. Long term marriages have about a 57% chance in working out.
