If you’ve been married more than seven years, congratulations. You’ve beaten the odds.
That’s the average length of a first marriage in the United States, according to statistics that popped up on the ol’ computer from LawInfo.com, a Web site that’s full of information regarding the state of marriage today.
And did you notice? It’s talking “first marriage.”
More than half of today’s marriages end in divorce, the Web site said. Most people do give wedded life a second chance, but even then, the road to happiness is sprinkled with potholes. Second-timers stay married only 40 percent of the time. For those who give it a third shot, only 27% avoid strike three.

An Ohio teacher s aide has been arrested and charged with rape after authorities alleged that she sexually assaulted a middle school student.
Mandy Davis was a part-time teacher s aide at the Teays Valley West Middle School in Commercial Point. The 33-year-old woman was taken into custody on Wednesday and was charged with gross sexual imposition and unlawful sexual conduct with a minor aside from rape, People reported.
In a statement, the Teays Valley Local Schools said that their practice is not to publicly discuss the specific facts since it is a pending personnel matter involving a district employee. They confirmed that the Ohio teacher s aide has been notified that the Board of Education no longer needs her services.
NEWTON TOWNSHIP - Singing is one of the riskier activities during a pandemic of a highly contagious airborne virus.
But that didn t stop Maysville choir director Ryan Hutcherson from keeping a beloved vocal arts program alive at the high school and middle school during the 2020-21 school year. I ve been so impressed with them, he said of his students. There s not as much taking it for granted per se there s just this deeper appreciation now.
Performing with masks and spacing out in a typically intimate activity made for a strange experience, but Hutcherson said his students rose to the occasion. His own work adapting the program this year also garnered him an Ohio Teacher of the Year nomination from the superintendent.
NORWOOD – Wearing a white apron with the words Chow & Tell stitched across the front, eighth-grader Nadya Meriweather reads aloud the stuffed shells recipe on the back of a Barilla jumbo pasta shells box.
Ohio superintendent of public instruction Paolo DeMaria stands next to her, having driven in from Columbus to guest star on the Norwood City School District s new cooking show. The district serves about 1,900 students and is one of the 50 most diverse school districts in the state, according to Niche.com. More than half of the student body is eligible for free or reduced price lunch.
DeMaria asks Nadya s classmate, Eduardo Garcia, to check on the pot of saltwater heating up on the burner behind them. DeMaria explains that the salt raises the water s boiling point, making the pasta cook faster.
