The Best Age for Marriage

The older you get married, the smaller the chances of separation will be, according to one study.

An analysis by Nicholas Wolfgang, a sociologist at Utah University, suggests that after a certain point, if you are married in the early 20s, the risk of separation begins to grow as you age.

The risk of divorce begins to rise steadily at the beginning of the 20s, but sometime in the early 30s it begins to decline, online Economics broadcast.

As Wolfgang said: “Those who marry in their 20s are more likely to divorce than those who marry in their 30s. ”

This is based on a structural analysis of data from the National Family Growth Survey, a study held annually in the United States.

The greatest risk of divorce of young couples comes from an intimate sense of yeah in the early 20s, you still don't know what you want in life and who you really are. That person who looked really good for you when you were 19 seems less good when you're 30.

It's important to know that we're only talking about statistical risks. If you decide to marry after 30, that's a smarter option than getting married early.

Seeing divorce rates, Wolfgang found that people who married at the age of 35 had 19% less risk of divorce than did those who were married in their 20s.
