People become “less” prepared for marriage the older they get, and thus the propensity for divorce or unhappiness all the greater as they age and become more “sophisticated.” When they are 18, and don’t expect the world, their expectations are in check. Once they hit 25 or more, there is a tendency for them to have greater, unrealistic, expectations of marriage and their spouse – thus setting themselves up for potential failure. Additionally, they are then more exposed to the outside world and all its negative influences. Frankly speaking, often divorces stem from these unrealistic expectations of couples that married “older”. The “younger” couples grew together, including their expectations of each other, and those marriages tend to be stronger. Bottom line? Getting married young works and is generally speaking the way to go.
