Proof that older = wiser:
Age at marriage for those who divorce in America:
Age | Women | Men |
Under 20 years old | 27.6% | 11.7% |
20 to 24 years old | 36.6% | 38.8% |
25 to 29 years old | 16.4% | 22.3% |
30 to 34 years old | 8.5% | 11.6% |
35 to 39 years old | 5.1% | 6.5% |
However, proof that we don’t learn from experience:
50% percent of first marriages, 67% of second and 74% of third marriages end in divorce.
