A study in China suggested that marrying at a younger age carries a higher risk of divorce.That same study found that in America, among those who divorce most frequently, a large proportion had married young. Lack of experience and financial instability among young couples play a significant role in this. However, the research focused on couples who married at or before the age of 25. By contrast, those marrying after the age of 50-60 generally don’t face these problems as much. Although marrying at 60 can pose some challenges, it also has several advantages.According to a report by National Geographic, older couples usually have a clearer understanding of their own needs. Many are already professionally established at this stage of life, so they don’t need to be financially dependent on others.
