Is it really true that the younger you marry the more likely you are to get a divorce?

Answer 1

NO !!!!!! My husband and I married at 19, and to date we have been married 23 years, the key is communication, trust, and and unconditional LOVE, he still tells me about 5 times a day he loves me.

Answer 2

The one thing you have to remember: Marriage is an extremely big commitment (and I know you've probably heard this before).

Being married requires many sacrifices. Plus if you choose to, or by mistake, have children, it requires even more sacrifices. I suppose this is the reason younger adults seem to become divorced than that of an older couple. People are not always ready to give up what they love for the sake of another. Of course they can read this and think that they're an exception, but it always tends to have the same end result.

If you plan to marry and you are still young, be sure this is truly what you want. Are you prepared to go out of your way to provide for your loved one? This could mean giving up your career plans or future plans if your love cannot be apart of it (Especially if you have children). Think about it. Dont jump into anything you're not ready for. Okay?

Answer 3

No, I have been with my hubby since I was 17 and we have been together 17 years now.And we have an excellent relationship.Age has nothing to do with it.It is about the maturity levels of the persons involved.And weather or not it is a good compatible match or not.I know plenty of middle aged couples that have gotten together and divorced within A year or so.People are just getting married to fast these days they aren't getting to know each other first.That is what cause so many divorces not getting married to young.In fact, the only other people I know that have been married for a long time was my brother and his wife and they were together since they were 16 years old.They were married almost 30 years when their marriage ended.And the only reason it ended when it did was because he passed away.

Answer 4

Yes, it can be true. Some couples get married too young and don't experience life. They end up thinking that things will be good after they are married then things turn out bad and they end up divorced. My sister was married at 19 and has been married for 35 years and my nephew was married while he was a senior in high school. They have been married for almost 14 years. Some marriages can be good and last for years.

Answer 5

I wont say that EVERY marriage it happens but yes the statistics do say that the younger people marry the better chance of divorce. I believe that it is because alot of people who meet young are so in love with the idea of marriage and being with that someone that they dont really realize that it takes a long time to really know someone and you shouldnt just jump into something so serious as marriage. Than they get married and find out that their spouse is not the same person that they thought they were

Answer 6

No. What IS true is that the less mature you are when you marry, the more likely you are to get a divorce. Selfish, immature people make big deals over little things and have petty jealousies, and don't trust each other. Trust is a major factor in any relationship. You need to trust each other, live up to the trust of each other, communicate well and discuss all things BEFORE you get married. Talk about your feelings about children, religion, holidays, traditions, in-laws, and MONEY. If you see eye to eye on these issues and trust and love each other, age does not matter. Good luck.

Answer 7

Dude, I really hope not. But my personal opinion is No because younger people have more of a sense of what true love is and I do think that older people who didn't find Mr.Right at a younger age often go looking for anyone to marry and settle for less. I mean they might be happy and stuff, don't get me wrong but I...I actually lost my train of thought >< Just read what I've already written for my answer to your question. Sorry xP

Answer 8

In the USA no matter what age you get married you have a 54% chance of getting divorced

I dont think age matters.. I waited until i was 31 to get married.. (the one and ONLY time) made no real difference.. ended up divorced 6 years later (perhaps my mistake was in marrying a divorced woman? I dunno)

Divorce is easy.. marriage is a joke...

Answer 9

For most yes. I have seen some unusually responsible younger people marry and make it. My husband an I married when we were 18/19. It lasted a year. Too immature for our own good. Well, we put six years in, grew, went to college and married again, no having almost 15 years and are happy.

Answer 10

No. I know couples who married right out of higschool (back in the late 60s early 70s) who are still married today. In fact I'm god mother to one couples daughter as well as their grand daughter. Actually I am the only female in my circle of friends (I've known since childhood) who IS divorced and I was the one who was the oldest when I got married at 27. The rest of them got married before they were in the mid 20s. All except for one who has never been married

Answer 11

well i guess if you are mature enough when u got married, that marriage will work out. maturity does not come with age. i have seen a lot of people who married at an early age undergoing tough times. their tendency is to do things as if they are still single coz thats the one thing that you will miss, the enjoyment and fulfillment of achieving things on your own. if you are being held back by the knowledge that u can't do these things now, then one time or another you will feel bored, irritated and fed up and that wil be the start of arguments.
