How Long Does The Average Marriage Last?

The average length of a marriage has been steadily falling over the last twenty years. In 1980 couples could expect to be married for an average of 37 years; today the figure is just 24 years.

Similarly, divorce rates have been climbing drastically. The UK now has one of the highest divorce rates in Europe, with two in five marriages not standing the test of time. Despite this, however, marriage is still by far the most popular choice amongst the British population: 95% of women and 90% of men will be married by the age of 50.

Although the number of divorces continues to rise, the reasons seem to remain fairly steady. The primary reason given for the break-up of a marriage is an extra-marital affair, although last year's figures from a survey of UK marital lawyers showed that family strains and abuse, both mental and physical, have risen drastically as the reason cited.

Well if it is a average marriage it should be able to last as long as the two people who got married want to stay together
