WASHINGTON, Feb. 14 (UPI) -- U.S. Census bureau data released for Valentine's Day revealed nearly 20 percent of U.S. adults have been married at least twice.

The bureau said 19.5 percent of U.S. adults had been married at least twice as of 2011 while 5 percent had been married three or more times. A total 75.3 percent of U.S. adults who have ever been married only took one trip down the aisle as of 2011.
