The number: 10% the remarrying kind
10% - The remarrying kind
Many have had three spouses
Remember the classic country song: "All My Ex's Live in Texas"? Well, George Strait was on to something. Looking at numbers, Texas is indeed home to more thrice-married adults than any other state, about 428,000 women and 373,000 men. But that's partly because it's home to so many people, period. Looking at rates, about 6 percent of Texans who ever have been married have wed three times or more. That is similar to the national average (5 percent), but well below the leaders in this category. In the neighboring states of Arkansas and Oklahoma about 10 percent of all ever-married adults have had at least three spouses.
