Maths haunted us in school, and now it’s back to scare us again…
A new study suggests that the optimal time to get married is between the ages of 28 and 32, and doing so increases the chances that your marriage will be successful.
These are the study’s words, not ours, so please remain calm…
Nick Wolfinger, a sociologist at the University of Utah, conducted the study and determined that people who get married between 28 and 32 are least likely to split up in the ensuing years according to TIME.
Wolfing said, “The odds of divorce decline as you age from your teenage years through your late twenties and early thirties.
“Thereafter, the chances of divorce go up again as you move into your late thirties and early forties.”
He also stated that for each year after the age of 32 you get married, the chance of divorce increases by about 5 per cent.
Before you go charging off to buy an engagement ring because math dictates you have to get married before you’re 32, we must remind you once again that this is just a study.*
