The Right Age To Marry Is More Important Than You Think
In an analysis conducted by The University of Utah sociologist , Nicholas Wolfinger, discovers that marrying both at a young age or too late could spell disaster for your love life because it increases your chances of divorce.
Wolfinger brought good news for couples that decided to “put a ring on it” in their late 20s to early 30s because the likelihood of divorce decreases. Another concluding observation made by the sociologist after studying the National Survey of Family Growth Data is that the late 30s is not a great age to get married after all because the divorce risk goes up as you get older past that age.
He went on to describe the perils of getting married at a late age, “For years, it seemed like the longer you waited to marry, the better. That’s because the relationship between age at marriage and divorce risk was almost linear: The older you were, the lower the chances of divorce. Although teens still face an elevated divorce risk relative to older adults, my analysis of more recent data shows that those who tie the knot after their early thirties are now more likely to divorce than those who marry in their late twenties”. …show more content…
