According to a 2001 Gallup survey of 1003 Americans, age 20-29, for the Rutgers University's National Marriage Project, 94% want a soulmate for a spouse "first and foremost." Of these, 87% believe they will find a soulmate when they are ready to marry. However, evidence from marriage studies show that the majority of these singles will never marry their soulmates. According to marriage statistics, they are more likely to be divorced. According to a recent report from the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention, 50 percent of first marriages end in separation or divorce within 20 years.
Also, 9 out of 10 (88%) Americans in their 20s thought the divorce rate is too high.
