[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If marriages in 20's aren't going well, its easy to divorce and move on. If marriages in 30's and 40's aren't going well, there is too much to loose hence people stay trapped.[/quote]

My friends who married in late 30s and 40s are more unhappy. Their marriages weren’t necessarily love matches. They married quickly because the clock was ticking and they wanted kids. They’re glad they had kids but many of them divorced quickly too.

Friends who married late 20s/early 30s dated for several years prior to marriage. They also grew up more together (things like supporting each other in grad school, buying first homes together, starting first jobs together). I actually don’t have any friends who married in that range that divorced. A few divorced who married at ages 22-24. [/quote]

There is something to be said about the shared struggle of finding your way in your 20s.  You share each others highs and lows and become a team that understands each other.

It can go that way and it sounds nice, but my anecdata is that everyone I knew who thought they would do that was in a mulligan marriage that ended around 27. Remarried their forever partners and had kids in early 30s.[/quote]
