Yeah I googled earlier and there seem to be a few studies that pretty much all reckon young (early/mid 20s to 30ish) as the marriage-success-predictor optimum.

Unfortunately those studies seem to be being misrepresented in much of the press which seems to want to accentuate the wait-a-little but are rather more quiet on the but-not-too-long message, presumably for reasons of being more appealing to the demographics they are "summarising" for.
- Nursie 3y agoMuch like the “children do better in a stable home” studies though, could this not be somewhat tautological? I.E. marriages among people who choose to marry at those ages may well last the best. Does that mean they someone who would have married earlier or later should change their behaviour if they want a long marriage? Or is it some other quality of couples who do already make that choice that precipitates the outcome?
