Which means that about 60% of the people stay in their first marriage.

There were two different sets of data. One was 60% and one 40% for first marriages.

I didn’t do the research - I just cut & paste.

Within my family - 2 generations:
10 siblings - no divorces.
40 cousins - 5 divorces 2 remarriages

Most of my elderly friends and neighbors are on their 2nd and 3rd marriages as a result of divorce and some are widowed from the 1st and 2nd marriages. So, yes I have seen a huge increase in divorce and ‘partnerships’ w/o marriage over 3 generations.
