What do you think the divorce rate would be if you didnt include marriages that failed for these reasons?
1) People who get married and divorced multiple times.
2) Cheating
3) Drugs or Alcohol
4) Physical or mental abuse
5) People who marry before the age of 25.
6) People who let themselves go.

the divorce rate would be miniscule, less than 10% or so instead of 50%. And most divorces would be over MONEY and MONEY PROBLEMS, especially when a couple with two incomes has one of the spouses lose their job and have trouble getting another one, causing a reduction in lifestyle.

Well by multiple I am assuming you mean more than twice but my guess is that they would be very low. And as far as marring before the age of 25 a lot of people I know that have been married for 20 plus years got married at 19 or so but at the same time i am 19 been married two years and going to through a divorce but cheating alcohol physical and mental abuse plaid a role in it.

Well you listed just about all the many problems that we have today, but I must say that is truly about love....I have been married for 22yrs and I am only 40....I am still in love with my husband....Whatever he wants he gets...it is all about love and working problems out....I was married at 18 and love who I am with... We may have our ups and downs, but you also get that if you were just boyfriends and girlfriends....So it really doesn't matter.....It all boils down to being married and staying with one man or being single and screwing around with 15 to 20 men per year....

Why would you not include the above mentioned reasons? If you don't include these reasons then the divorce rate would be very much lower.

15% The rest of them would divorce over money/finances.

I suspect it would drop to about 1.4% of the remaining 729 couples who were still married. :)
