[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree that it depends entirely on the people involved and their ability to grow, evolve and compromise with each other.  Some of the happiest and strongest marriages I know are from people who married their college sweethearts (HS more iffy).  The most problematic marriages I have seen are from women who decided in their mid to late 20s and early 30s to "settle" and marryguys who had lots of red flags just because their biological clocks were ticking and they wanted to have a child.   Better to freeze ones eggs than to have to co-parent with a dysfunctional ExH. [b]  I know I will get flamed for this, but based upon all of my friends, I will say that I think the biggest predictor for marital longevity is whether your own parents stayed married (and were relatively happy together over the long run).

Despite these challenges, the likelihood that children of divorce will go on to get a divorce themselves has diminished greatly over time. According to Wolfinger, in the early 1970s, married people with divorced parents were about twice as likely as married people from intact families to get a divorce; now, the former group is only about 1.2 times as likely to get a divorce as the latter group.[/i][/quote]

20% more likely to get divorced is still a statistically significant amount.[/quote]
