Yeah, they are doing an outstanding job with that 50% divorce rate
IE, it doesn't mean that 50% of all people who get married end up divorced. It means that 50% of all marriages do. Point being, some people are 2,3,4 or more time losers. Hence, if one couple gets married and never divorces but some dude marries 5 different women in his life, he, by himself, overwhelms the couple's stat.
OK. Derail over.

Not so fast. It is also misleading, because a statistically significant number of divorces end in a remarriage of the same parties.
So, you have at least 2 different things going on - the "divorcers", who drive up the overall divorce rate, and the "Mulligans" - which count as 2 marriages and 1 divorce - brings down the average, yes, but it shouldn't count as a divorce at all - IMHO.
