The Average Bad Marriage Lasts Nine Years Before a Separation
August 19, 2011 Wondering how much longer you'll be stuck in your marriage? A new study out of Australia found that the average 'bad' marriage lasts 8.7 years. That's eight years, eight months, and 12 days before a separation. And then it's 12.3 years, or 12 years, three months, and 18 days, before the divorce is final.
Interestingly, those numbers are actually significantly up from 30 years ago.
