[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Those who marry before age 30 are significantly more likely to end up divorced.  Those who spend a little time in adulthood learning more about themselves and maturing more are more likely to stay married once married.[/quote]

In my personal experience most who married young are still married, fee divorced. Most who married later had more issues and quite a few divorced. When you have grown, you are more set in your ways and less likely to change for other person. When you are young, you often grow together. Some people are more flexible when they are older and lost their prime peak but there are no fixed age dependent rules.[/quote]

The data doesn’t support what you’re saying. [/quote]

I bet the data you are referring to doesn't control for wealth/income and/or education.  [/quote]

It would be fun to see more data on more specific groups. Getting a college degree, having a higher IQ, meeting in college, and making more than 75K a year all all factors that significantly reduce the likelihood you’re going to divorce and if there is cumulative impact it seems like you’re going to have good odds. Marrying at ages 20-25 increases your likelihood of divorce but I imagine that could be at least outweighed by all those other factors. Plus, getting married at 20 seems a lot different than getting married at 24. [/quote]
