[quote=Anonymous]I’m not worried about it but I am actually wondering if we’ll see more of a return to finding spouses in college.  The young people o know HATE the apps and view them as something for sad millenials or just as a gross hookup thing.  Plus the young ones are increasingly disinclined to date people at work since that’s so messy/drama and could let to real issues.  
I feel like my teen would be happy to marry his HS girlfriend.
The people I know that married their college or even HS sweetheart aren’t any more likely to be divorced.  I think most of the divorces I know were people that married in their 20s.  My theory is that if there are problems in your relationship with your HS or college person, there are lots of natural opportunities to break it off and try something new.  But people in their 20s tend to move in, to establish shared friend groups, maybe get a pet togetjet, plus start feeling like others they know are getting married …. So there’s a lot of reasons to paper  over problems in a relationship.  Plus people can be working a lot then and just not have the time spent together to realize that there are significant compatibility problems.  [/quote]
