Average Length of Marriage Before Divorce

What is the average length of marriage? In what year of marriage is divorce most common?

12 year Marriages

In my experience, it’s 12 years.  Most couples file for divorce in year 12.

This article says 7 or 8 years.

Britney Spears’ 14 month marriage just came to an end.

Every 36 Seconds

This article states that every 36 seconds, someone files for divorce in the United States.

Marriage Advice

Except for abuse, I am against divorce.  I believe most couples should try to reconcile.  There is an enemy out there, but it is not your spouse.

I have written a ton of articles on how to stay out of my office.
