According to the 2009 data in the US Census, the median length of a marriage that ends in divorce, in the US, is 8.0 years, over three years shorter than the median in the UK.
Similar data has resulted in an estimate that something like 40% of American marriages end in divorce.
It would seem then, that any American marriage has a 60% chance to avoid divorce to begin with, on average, and any American marriage that lasts more than 8 years has made it past most of the remaining 40%.
Therefore, very roughly, it appears that a marriage that lasts more than 8 years in America has an 80% chance to avoid divorce.
