Abstract

Marriage and divorce records in Iowa and Missouri confirm the viewpoint that remarriages are not as enduring as first marriages and that the probability of divorce rises with each successive marriage. Information which distinguishes widowed from divorced persons is needed, but these data clearly suggest divorce proneness among divorced persons who remarry. Postwar remarriages in Iowa have shown a greater fragility, whereas first marriages are accounting for even fewer of the divorces.
