Pertinent data on remarriage rates by country, see chart page 14.

Surprisingly, because the OP is from the UK, the UK is the ONLY country to beat us in remarriages.

(though it was only based upon the bride remarrying, not the groom)

But you gotta love the irony of the question coming from someone in a country that actually beats his gripe about the US.....

Don't get me wrong... I am not a proponent of the "disposal" marriage mindset.

But, 1) I'm in favor of data over opinion; and 2) I'm kinda tired of the US being the Great Satan in all things.

I love my country, but the pot cannot call the kettle black. The UK and US fair quite similarly when it comes to these kind of issues. I suspect that it's similar in all English speaking countries. I defend the UK more than most Brits, but this is one area that I cannot defend her....sorry OP.

In both our defense...

We come from countries with the freedom and income to be able to make mistakes. Kinda like a teen with their first credit card.

I have confidence in both our countries that we will find the balance between freedom and responsibility that will result in good.

History is fraught with ups and downs when it comes to this area. I think we will find the right balance.
