Are children of divorced parents more likely to divorce?
I am divorced and re-married. My ex wife is a child of divorce and i am not. I am just wondering if there is a correlation between marriages of divorced children and their likelihood to divorce.

I did my dissertation on this so I can give you both sides of the information. If the divorce was contemptuous or if they had limited contact with the non custodial parents there is a slight increase in the propensity for divorce. However if their parents were better friends after the divorce and they had frequent contact with the non custodial parents they just tend to marry later in life and have a more realistic expectation of marriage.
Yes, has been proven as children learn from Mom and dad?{actions}.
Yes Children of divorced parents are more likely to divorce. Simply because they never had a good example of what a marriage should be.
There is. It dosen’t mean it always happens, but there is a bigger chanse for a person who had divorced parents, to divorce himself. A child with divorced parents usually gets a wrong idea about marriage, from his family’s experience.
it depends on the child and what type of divorce it was. a rough one and so on
yes unfortunatly.
yes
No its not always like that…..sometimes children of divorced parents are more attached to each other . because they have seen the loneliness of their parents with each other……moreover they have suffered without one parent….they don’t want their children to suffer the same thing…….but in other hand it depends on the situation also….how they had taught …….
not really it all depends on family background culture and situations in my opinion.
Unfortunately they are. It doesn’t mean that it’s destined for your kids though. I’m like Klus said. I’ve used my parents divorce and the way my father lived his life as a model of what not to do in my life. So, the argument that a child will be carbon copy of the parent isn’t totally true, I’m living my live like a photo negative of my fathers.
A marriage is the couples decision and if that marriage is not respected and nutured by one or more within the bond it’s the same. So no, that IS superstition.
The facts are this….there are parents out there that never divorced yet one or more of their sons or daughters are. It all depends on the couple period.
no i don’t care what anybody sez,i come from a big family 13 in all 10 girls 3 boys,11 have been divorced,and my self and my oldest brother are still married,i have been married for 25 years,and my brother 30 so no,if a marriage fails,it fails because 2 people wanted it to.
