If you're only looking at statistics, yes. Many young people don't know what they want in life and are too immature to make the marriage last. Of course, there are exceptions. But it depends on the individuals involved. My aunt got married at 18 and she's still in a happy relationship with her husband. Still, if you really think your high school sweetheart is your soulmate, it wouldn't hurt to wait a few years to get married. The general rule of thumb is to establish yourself economically (finish your education) before you consider marriage .

It doesn't matter if your young or old - the key to a successful marriage is marrying the right person. And you can find the right person even if you are young. I got married at 21 (hubby was 22) and after 7 years all is still great. But it is all about trust, a good relationship in the bedroom, friendship and having reasonable expectations of your spouse. And phrases such as "starter marriage" pollute our society with the notion that marriage is something to try on and if it doesn't fit just right, then just try again. Marriage is not a shoe - it's a job. A wonderful, challenging, fulfilling and crazy job that demands you show up everyday and give it your all.

It's all relative and depends on the individuals and second marriages are even more likely to end in divorce.

They marry for the wrong reason and don't get to know each other. Most likely they are running away from something, like parents.

I say yes because when people are young they don't know what there doing and 99% don't know that there spending the rest of there lives with that person. Some people are truly in love but not many of them.

unfortunately- no.....immaturity may play a part in divorce...but it's more in the individual relationship and the will of both partners to stay together.......you can make it or break it at any age

Yes. That's why the phrase "starter marriage" exists.
