"The risk of divorce is 50 percent higher when one spouse comes from a divorced home, and 200 percent higher risk when both of them do, says Nicholas Wolfinger, a professor of family and consumer studies at the University of Utah and author of "Understanding the Divorce Cycle: The Children of Divorce in Their Own Marriages."

Children of divorce are also 50 percent more likely to marry another child of divorce, he said."

You and I and others here have done the best we could for our children by giving them a model. I'm always happy when my kids date someone from an in-tact family. But in the end, you love who you love, and if you work at it, and there isn't some enormous problem in the marriage (like abuse) you can make it work. I hope my kids all find that- because it's a gift to have one area of your life that is your rock and your center.
