Age matters. Couples that marry later tend to have relationships that last longer. The earlier the couple gets together, the greater the risk of later divorce. Interestingly, that holds if couples move in together while they're younger (as in teen years), too.

So do demographics.

quote:

Women with a bachelor's degree have a 78 percent chance of having their marriages lasting 20 years, compared with 41 percent for those with a high school education, while it's respectively 65 percent and 47 percent for men. Identifying as religious also gave a similar bump versus being nonreligious.

Who would have thought that educated religious couples last longer than trailer trash or ghetto vermin

Neuroticism -- or emotional instability -- is a personality trait that measures how sensitive you are to perceived threats, and how likely you are to ruminate about them. It's been implicated in anxiety and depression disorders, and has been shown repeatedly to predict divorce.

So if you're college educated, religious, and an older adult you make better decisions and can plan better for the long term than a young atheistic high school drop out?

True love is hard to find, sometimes you think you have true love and then you catch the early flight home from San Diego and a couple of nude people jump out of your bathroom blindfolded like a goddamn magic show ready to double team your girlfriend.

We were good till they threw in the religious factor.

Oh well. Guess we are doomed.

My MIL and FIL marriage (he died from cancer) lasted 40+ years and both had a HS education. The same goes for my marriage except we've been married for 25 years.

Then you are both in the 41%.

1 These are all rather obvious

2. I can't stand articles like this that have "5 factors" in the title but don't list them in number order so i can easily sift through and find em. Really grinds my gears!

BBC is always present so it's factored out in the control group stage.

Giving women rights caused 100% of divorces. This is fact, not fiction.
