Who is most likely to remarry after a divorce and why? Men have always been more likely to remarry than women, although this gap is narrowing.

Which gender initiates divorce more?

Seeing as most divorces are initiated by women, men can use this statistic to make sure they are being mindful of their wives' needs and wants.
