Assuming that whatever studies were involved in this article are true, 30% to 40% is still pretty high. It's interesting that in the article it sites premarital cohabitation as a factor to marital success because that has actually been shown to have a greater chance of leading to divorce (this coming from someone who currently lives with their girlfriend lol). About 60 percent of all marriages that eventually end in divorce do so within the first 10 years, researchers say. If that continues to hold true, the divorce rate for college graduates who married between 1990 and 1994 would end up at only about 25 percent, compared to well over 50 percent for those without a four-year college degree. 25% is also still pretty high. According to this and if I'm understanding it correctly, 40% of marriages that end in divorce would also occur after 10 years which would mean that the 25% measured here is likely to rise if this study were to conducted again with the same population now. This article was posted in 2005 so it has been about 15 years. I also would point out that there are probably many unhappy marriages out there as well. I'm not really trying to dissuade anyone from getting married or anything. I myself want to get married. The point of my original post was that people are just as capable of being happy without getting married, just like many people who get married can also be unhappy. Some guy on the sex board said that marriage was the only goal for any relationship and that anyone who disagreed was wrong. ... Copied to Clipboard! |
