Question

In class we discussed a few things that would reduce the likelihood of getting a divorce. One of these was how long you should date before getting married. What was this number?

Answer 1

Couples who enter marriage without a strong asset base are 70 percent more likely to be divorced after three years.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to research from the University of Virginia's National Marriage Project, couples who enter marriage without a strong asset base, such as a home, savings, and a retirement plan, are 70 percent more likely to be divorced after three years than couples with at least $10,000 in assets. This is connected to factors such as age and education level that correlate with low incomes.
