Really? They do? Please tell me your source for that statement.
I have friends and relatives who attended college and have bachelor's and master's degrees and have suffered nasty divorces.
I have friends and relatives who have no higher education beyond the 12th grade ... some even less than that ... and they were married once, never divorced and had the best relationships I have ever seen.
Marriages are not based on education, color, race, religion, etc.
A marriage will only last if the 2 people who enter into it love each other enough to work through any and all problems that life may bring them. Especially the changes that happen naturally as we age and grow ... our marriages need to be able to age and grow and change right along with us. If not, they will fail.
I am not the same as I was 10 years ago - nor is my husband - but we've held our relationship together for over 17 years because we love each other and we communicate and we work through everything until we find a compromise we are happy with. My husband has 2 years of college, I have a semester and a half. Not exactly what one would call a college education on either part - and yet here we are, still going strong and growing every day.
Look for someone you can love completely for the rest of your life - then you'll be willing to make things work no matter what.
Best Wishes

Do they really ?
Are we talking about couple's from the 50's , 60's , 70's who went to college and are still together or are we talking about students who attended between the last 80's until now ? specifics people fcol.
I think maybe you should re-assess and research deeper to find the facts on divorce.

They get their degree, make more money and are 1. Less likely to have financial problems which causes huge problems in relationships. and 2. Are less likely to feel like their partner is holding them back.

They have a better sense of commitment, goals, a sense of self so they aren't dependent on the other person "making" them.

maybe b/c they've waited to marry. maybe cause they've had a single life. maybe since they have the brains to go to school, they also know better, how to pick the right person b/c they're worth it.

Do they?
It could be b/c they are motivated and know what it takes to reach a goal -- hard work and committment.
But, I'm not sure. Just my opinion.
