The older you get married, the smaller the chances of getting divorced, according to a study. An analysis by Nicholas Wolfinger, a sociologist at the University of Utah, suggests that after a certain point, if you’re married in your early 20s, the risk of divorce starts to increase as you get older.<\/p>\n
The risk of divorce begins to rise steadily in the early 20s, but sometime in the early 30s it begins to decline.<\/p>\n
As Wolfinger said: “Those who marry in their 20s are more likely to divorce than those who marry in their 30s.” This is based on a structural analysis of data from the National Survey of Family Growth, a survey conducted annually in the US.<\/p>\n
The biggest risk of divorce for young couples comes from an intuitive understanding \u2013 in your early 20s, you are still not clear about what you want in life and who you really are. That person who seemed very good to you when you were 19 seems less good when you are 30.<\/p>\n
It is important to know that we are only talking about statistical risks. If you decide to get married after 30 this is a wiser alternative than getting married early.<\/p>\n
Looking at divorce rates, Wolfinger found that people who married at age 35 had a 19% lower risk of divorce than those who married in their 20s.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
