[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. [b]They also grew up more together (things like supporting each other in grad school, buying first homes together, starting first jobs together). [/b]I actually don’t have any friends who married in that range that divorced. A few divorced who married at ages 22-24. [/quote]

This is what I think helps younger couples together. They grow together.

we have friends going through divorce, and my pragmatic husband said to me recently “there is no way I could move on after you. Because you know me and everything about me and love me for me and I don’t know how I could build that with anyone else at this point”. And I’ve seen posters ask on this board “those happily married to millionaire husbands, how did you find him ” …. well he was broke at the time :)

But now We share and laugh about When we lived in that one roach-infested apartment, when we bought our first house, the birth of our kids, when we each realized we wanted kids, what we ate when we couldn’t afford much, how low his first salary was, college graduation, his mindset when he got the first job, how we’ve grown, thoughts of our future and what became of it, etc.

Our kids are 20-ish and we parents met at this age, dated, and married a few years later. My 25yo DS is not even close (no girlfriend) and that’s okay, but he has been there for the best of our 28 year marriage and says this is what he wants… one day. [/quote]
