Celebrate Your Ten Year Anniversary
The Census Bureau has some statistics on
how long marriages last, but what I actually wanted was the
conditional probability based on how long you've been
married, to see if it went up or down as the marriage went on. I
imported the data into R and transformed it, and the graph below shows
the conditional probability of staying married for another 5 years,
given how long you have been married alredy (I believe I used the data
for women).
As you can see, 10 years is when you've passed the trough and the
prospects are looking better again.
