“In the United States, approximately 40% to 50% of marriages end in divorce. However, the risk of divorce is influenced by many factors.
Some other divorce statistics include:
• First marriages: 41% of first marriages end in divorce, while 60% of second marriages and 73% of third marriages end in divorce.
• Age: The divorce rate is highest among adults aged 25–39.
While I was lucky enough to have never been divorced, it seems to me that the details of the marriage and divorce of couples involved should not be subject to public scrutiny, other than to be part of statistics like those mentioned above. This suggestion includes divorced individuals who are running for public office. Thus it is my humble opinion that the GOP, including GOP candidate Kari Lake, should not be privy to the very private events that occurred during the Kate and Ruben Gallego marriage and divorce that occurred long ago. It’s beyond disgusting that the political parties would even think that this is appropriate.
