Most Likely To Divorce Born again Christians are just as likely to get divorced as are non-born again adults. Overall, 33% of all born again individuals who have been married have gone through a divorce, which is statistically identical to the 34% incidence among non-born again adults. Adults who have a college degree and have been married are comparatively less likely to get divorced. 31% of college grads that have been married have been divorced versus 36% of adults who did not earn a college degree and have been married. The region of the nation in which divorce was least likely was the Northeast. In that area, 28% of adults who had been married had also been divorced, compared to 32% in the Midwest, 35% in the South, and 38% in the West. (Barna Research 8/6/01)
