With the number of marriages which end in divorce rising, are the odds stacked against couples who are about to tie the knot? We asked an expert to crunch the numbers.
From the late 1970s, the number of people getting married in Northern Ireland was in steady decline.
But for the best part of the last decade, the numbers are on the way back up again, so is marriage coming back into fashion, or are we simply waiting longer before committing to one person for the rest of our lives?
Dr David Marshall is a statistician with the Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency, based in Belfast.
We asked him, among other questions, how the number of people getting married today compares with past generations in Northern Ireland.
