Click on to find out some of the characteristics of marriages that researchers say are more likely to end in divorce. You might be surprised to discover what makes you more likely to go from “I do” to “I don’t anymore.” Do you ever worry about divorce? Hmm, could it be because parents are also probably sleep-deprived, pressed for time, and have less money for things like date nights and long weekends away to do “relationship maintenance”? As gay marriage becomes more widely legalized in the United States, it will be interesting to see how the divorce rates between gay and straight couples compare over time and if the “gay advantage” continues. According to the Pew Research Center, not only are adults with a college degree slightly more likely to be married by age 30, they are also more likely to stay married than adults without a college degree. Researchers suspect that perhaps the greater level of economic security associated with having a college degree might play a role in this trend. I suspect maybe dealing with crazy college roommates might help prepare you for dealing with all the quirks of living with a spouse! A University of Buffalo study finds that if one partner drinks heavily (six or more drinks per night) and the other doesn’t, their divorce rate is 20% higher than couples whose drinking rates are more similar. The divorce rate is even higher than for couples where both drink heavily. Apparently this is an area where birds of a feather are, in fact, more likely to stick together. Brown University researchers report that having a close relative or friend get divorced is linked to a 75% (!) increase that you will divorce too. So, if you are the one comforting your friend or sister as she breaks up, it might be time to schedule some extra date nights or relationship talks in your own life too! Information provided by the University of Utah indicates that getting married at a young age, especially if you are still in your late teens, increases the likelihood of divorce. Younger couples are also likely to divorce more quickly with many separating within the first few years of being married. As I remember the boys I liked when I was 18 to 19, this one makes total sense to me! I can’t help but wonder if this is due to people getting married because a baby is on the way rather than because they were really ready to marry in the first place. According to an Emory University study, the divorce rate for couples who spent $20,000 or more was 3.5 times higher than for more budget minded couples who spent between $5,000 to $10,000. Other interesting findings include that having a large number of wedding guests and going on a honeymoon correlated with staying married, so it looks like having a big, but inexpensive, wedding is the way to go. The Emory University study also finds that couples with a 10-year age difference are 39% more likely to divorce than couples who are the closer to the same age. Well, shoot. As a straight mother with two divorced siblings who is married to an older man, I think I might be doomed!
