Here is an interesting fact! Did you know that early marriage is a key predictor for divorce in later life? It is understood that about half of the people who marry under the age of 18 and about 40% under the age of 20 will end up in a divorce settlement! This is research that was conducted by the atlanta Journal Constitution.
The research also went as far to mention that an estimated Ten years is the approximate lifetime of a couple that marry in their teens… end in a divorce! This is an unfortunate statement and it suggests also that if a couple marry at an early age… it ends in divorce! Marrying late is a cause for a lower quality of marriage! This has been revealed by similar research conducted in the NFI (National Fartherhood Initiative)
The ideal age to marry seems to be between 23-27 years of age! This age group is less likely to head in the direction of a divorce in comparison to the younger age group! However, the question remains due to high divorce rates.. “how can we abolish all these divorces from happening and fix the broken relationships?
