And yet--spookily,

"Overall, the Mormon divorce rate appears to be no different from the 
average American divorce rate. A 1999 study by Barna Research of 
nearly 4,000 U.S. adults showed that 24% of Mormon marriages end in 
divorce -- a number statistically equal to the divorce rate among all 
Americans. Members of non-denominational churches (typically 
Fundamentalist in teaching) and born-again Christians experience a 
significantly higher divorce rate; Agnostics and Atheists have much a 
lower rate. <http://www.religioustolerance.org/chr_dira.htm>More info."
