According to the 1990 U.S. Census (the 2000 census didn't ask about marital status), at least 52% of all first marriages will end in divorce.
Among those who have been divorced, 75% will remarry. And 60% of those remarriages will end in divorce.
Christianity is no panacea for the divorce epidemic, either.
While 25% of all adults in America have experienced at least one divorce, 27% of Christians will split up. Evangelical Christians appear to fare even worse: Members of nondenominational Protestant and Baptist churches experience the nation's highest divorce rates at 34% and 29%, respectively.

Most people never intend to get a divorce but have lost hope.
