Cohabitation before the first marriage was associated with a greater chance of divorce, but cohabitation before the second marriage was unrelated

40% of all marriages are remarriages; 60% will end in another divorce (Papp) with 15% ending by 3 years, and another 25% by 5 years

Second divorce is more likely if the woman was under age 25 at the start of the second marriage (47% vs 34%), comes from a single parent home (49% vs 33%), was raped (25% more likely), or had GAD (50% more likely)

Second divorce is more likely if the woman has children (32% without children, 40% with wanted children, 44% with unwanted children), and women with lower education (All from the CDC Study)

Second marriages may be more prone to backshadowing or "Monday Morning Quarterbacking"
