\"Married<\/a><\/p>\n

Researchers claim they have found the perfect age to get married.<\/p>\n

The study carried out by Nick Wolfinger, a sociologist at the University of Utah, and published by the generally pro-marriage Institute of Family Studies <\/em>suggests that people who get married between 28 and 32 are the least divorced – in the ensuing years.<\/p>\n

Wolfinger analyzed data from 2006-2010 and the 2011-2013 National Survey of Family Growth. He found a sort of upside down bell curve. \u201cThe odds of divorce decline as you age from your teenage years through your late twenties and early thirties,\u201d he writes. \u201cThereafter, the chances of divorce go up again as you move into your late thirties and early forties.\u201d For each year after about 32, the chance of divorce goes up about 5% says the study.<\/p>\n

There are lots of reasons why late 20s\/early 30s would make sense as a time to start a lifelong partnership with someone: people are old enough to understand if they really get along with someone or are just blinded by hormones. They\u2019ve already made significant life choices and taken on some responsibilities. And they may be just financially solvent enough to be able to contemplate supporting someone should the need arise.<\/p>\n

Wolfinger says the data persists \u201ceven after controlling for respondents\u2019 sex, race, family structure of origin, age at the time of the survey, education, religious tradition, religious attendance, and sexual history, as well as the size of the metropolitan area that they live in.\u201d He thinks the reason might be selection bias. \u201cThe kinds of people who wait till their thirties to get married may be the kinds of people who aren\u2019t predisposed toward doing well in their marriages,\u201d he writes.<\/p>\n
