Statistics for restored marriages, where ex-spouses remarry each other, may be somewhat surprising. While statistics in Psychology Today suggest that 67% of second marriages and 73% of third marriages end in divorce, things seem to go a little better for people who remarry their spouses. Reunited
Dr. Nancy Kalish has researched rekindled romances since the early 1990s. Her research focuses on ex-boyfriend and girlfriends who reconnect with lost partners after a five-year break. The first phase of her research, which ended in 1996, consisted of approximately 1,000 survey respondents. In the end, Kalish found that overall, 72% of reunited partners stayed together.
Remarriages After Divorce
Kalish is not the only individual who researched remarriage statistics. Michele Weiner-Davis, who holds a Master of Social Work and who has received awards from the Association of Marriage and Family Therapy, operates the Divorce Busting center. She has investigated remarriage between spouses and has said that as many as 10% of divorced spouses remarry.
