[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That's what I thought, too: none of my friends have divorced. Then my sister announced that she was leaving her (awesome) husband of 20 years. She's 40. She doesn't match the poorly educated stereotype but yeah, clearly she was young. I think getting married at 20 is not advisable.

Most of my friends married in their mid-30s. I guess by then you know what you want.[/quote]

I am not so sure that it's necessarily a bad thing. Getting married at 20 means that kids are done with college by 45. Parents are still relatively young and attractive and have enough productive years ahead of them but have completed their key obligations. It's different from a couple marrying at 30 and having kids by mid- 30s. By time first kid is 25, the younger parent is already 60. Sure can divorce at 60 and many people do, but retirement is close and more health issues. So think the empty nest and end of responsibilities age makes more of difference than starting age.
