Assuming that whatever studies were involved in this article are true, 30% to 40% is still pretty high.

40% is for people ages 50-59. The divorce rate has been going down.

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).

They talk about that in the article about how those studies don't do a good job of accounting for other factors. If you take age as a factor, people who cohabitate at a later age do not have higher rates of divorce.

> https://contemporaryfamilies.org/cohabitation-divorce-brief-report/

It turns out that cohabitation doesnt cause divorce and probably never did. What leads to divorce is when people move in with someone with or without a marriage license before they have the maturity and experience to choose compatible partners and to conduct themselves in ways that can sustain a long-term relationship. Early entry into marriage or cohabitation, especially prior to age 23, is the critical risk factor for divorce.

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.

They're literally saying if the trend follows 25% is the projected rate.

> 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

This has a cool chart showing the slowing trend
https://www.nytimes.com/2014/12/02/upshot/the-divorce-surge-is-over-but-the-myth-lives-on.html

This article was posted in 2005 so it has been about 15 years.

Divorce rate continues to decline (I think this is complaining thinking it's a naughty word so...get rid of space, edit: yup that was it :facepalm:)
https://ifstudies.org/blog/the-us-divorce-rate-has -hit-a-50-year-low

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.

agreed

I think the internet being everywhere is probably a catch-22 for relationship successes too. It's good at people getting to know each other better depending where and how they meet and it allows for more communication. But the people that... aren't relationship material... it'll speed up the decline of what they're in for a number of reasons (if one person is prone to being unfaithful, or if one person is a jerk the other has more opportunities to meet a replacement, etc.)

Tbf, I wasn't trying to kill you. I was trying to kill the other person on lights. I realize now that I should have killed the person not on lights.

That makes a lot of sense to me. Obviously the correlation between cohabitation and divorce never really implied causation. I had always suspected there were many other factors involved. I'll still take some of this with a grain of salt though because a majority of what I've researched myself has made opposing claims regarding marriage rates in general. However, many books and articles in my schooling refer to scholarly studies that are a bit dated (the early 2000s or so and sometimes earlier than that), and much could have changed from then to now.

Oh my bad. Somehow I skipped over the chart when I went through the article the first time. I can see what it meant now. This is good news if the research is reliable.

I like how this discusses the impact of covid because I have recently wondered how the pandemic and shelter in place orders have impacted couples and families. My girlfriend and I only moved in together for the first time at the beginning of 2020 and we still act cheesy together despite us being together like 90% of the time. lol :D

In the article kriem posted it mentioned stigma. I think social discourses about what is right and wrong also have a huge impact on outcomes. Imagine people looking down on you for "living in sin." At some point that could impact the relationship too.
