tats Canada’s finding that the divorce rate of couples decreases after the 5th wedding anniversary is intriguing as is the accompanying graph. Does marriage get better after 5 years?

The probability of a first marriage ending in separation or divorce within 5 years is 20 percent, but the probability of a premarital cohabitation breaking up within 5 years is 49 percent.
