Can divorce be linked to how old you were/are when you get married?

I don't think age has anything to do with it really. I mean it all depends on your maturity when you get married and thinking about the other fish out their is what makes alot of marriages have there downfalls. Makes people think of what they don't have. No marriage is easy and isn't meant to be. It is working hard that makes us appreciate the easy times when they do come. Sometimes people don't try hard enough nowadays they think DIVORCE is the only answer and it isn't. If they worked as hard on their marriage as they do trying to rip it down then it might work out for them.

That could possibly hold true. I think it has alot to do with being faithful and maturity also.

I think that yes, it often can play a role in that people tend to not become the adult they will be until around age 23-25 and people who get married before they truly know themselves have a much higher chance of divorce. However, I don't think that being older automatically means you're going to last or make better choices. Also, the older you get, you have a higher chance of dying than of divorcing. But, I don't believe that marriage is wonderful no matter the age, I believe marriage is a gamble no matter the age. You can never know what is in the future. All people change and grow through their whole lives. Things happen, things change, and you never know what will happen to you.

I would encourage young women not to rush into marriage. It takes time to learn what you need in a long term relationship. Men, well, they do not need to be encouraged not to rush into marriage. Typically, they rather drag their feet on the matter. Some, however, seem clingy and desperate and should be encouraged to slow down a bit, too. I think, if you wait until after college and are financially secure before marriage, that is the right time for it in today's society. I do not think people should marry and have children at a young age when they are not fiscally prepared for the responsibilities.

I wouldn't necessarily say age had anything to do with it, but experience can play a small role in some people. I was 21 when I began dating my husband, we married 2 years later, a week before I turned 23. He is 6 years older than me, so was 27 when we began dating and 29 when we married. We each only had 2 other serious relationships before we got together. As you know, we are still perfectly happy aside from the usual marital problems, and we have no plans what so ever of seperating... ever! I think more or less it's your mind set. Some people seem to think it's perfectly fine to jump ship once things aren't going their way anymore, or when things get dull. I've been married 5 years, and there are times I miss the days when the relationship was new. The excitement when you saw the man you had a crush on, the excitement of when the phone rang, hoping it would be him. That was just fun. And for some people, they meet someone new who offers them that excitement, and they just go with it, leaving their family and spouse behind, and creating havok. I think people just need to learn that the grass isn't greener on the other side of the fence. No relationship is perfect, they all have their problems. Most men have the same problems, they don't help much with housework and kids, they forget to be romantic, they don't always know what to say, etc etc... so for the most part every woman has the same complaint. Leaving your husband over minor things like this isn't going to solve any problems. Personally I think no marriage should be ended without councelling first.
