Divorce

Sorry about my first post i accedentally clicked the enter button. On to my blog. At the beginning of the chapter it talks about different factors that lead to divorce. A person who is well-educated with a decent income, is religious, comes from an intact family, religious, and marries after age 25 without having a baby first chances are lower to have a divorce than others. Some of the reasons listed above seemed like no brainers, but then the one about being 25 and not having a baby kind of shocked me at first that it had that much of an impact in the divorce rate. Maybe we should make a law that says you can’t marry until your 25. I’m kidding, that’s just like telling people to go to marriage counseling before they get married. Yes, it may help sort out problems but as Dr. Hollist said, that these couples aren’t going because they want to go to counseling they are going because they don’t have to pay as much for the marriage license, which defeats the whole purpose of making the couple go in the first place. Going back to being 25, I think this is such a difference than getting married earlier is that people have time to sort out what they want in life; they have also, in most cases, gone and finished school and are getting a grip on their lives. In my mind if you feel like you have started your life then it is perfectly fine to start another one with another person!
