15 Staggering Stepfamily Stats
Stepfamilies are a fast growing and large group in American society. Don't believe us? Check out some amazing statistics about stepfamilies and blended families that will blow your mind.

The numbers tell the story: The US Bureau of Census relates:
  • One out of two marriages ends in divorce. 75% remarry. 
  • 66% of those living together or remarried break up, when children are involved.
  • 1300 new stepfamilies are forming every day.
  • Over 50% of US families are remarried or re-coupled.
  • 80% of remarried, or re-coupled, partners with children both have careers.
  • 50% of the 60 million children under the age of 13 are currently living in a stepfamily.
  • Within 5 years there will be more stepfamilies than original families.
  • 75% complain of "not having access to resources as a stepfamily," 
  • 80% of married women have careers and women are less dependent on the support of the male partner.
  • Over 80% of women who enter into stepfamilies are career women. These women do not have to endure the unexpected rigors of remarriage.
  • Men who choose to end a marriage also know that career women cost less to divorce.
  • 50% of all women, not just mothers, are likely to live in a stepfamily relationship, when we include living-together families in our definition of the stepfamily." states Professor of Sociology Larry L. Bumpass of the University of Wisconsin.
