If the age of being able to get married was raised to say 25 - would we have less divorce?

Without exception, all the divorced people amongst our friends and family were in their 40s when they divorced. Most of them had kids. Most of them are now in their 50s or 60s. Having been out visiting my folks in Greece (sailing round the Med), many of the liveaboards there are on their second marriages, as Steve says, and the youngest of them were late-40s.

Meantime amongst our contempories (early 30s) who've married and we're still in touch with, we don't currently have a single divorce yet. There are several who've been living together in long-term relationships and decided it wasn't working, but no divorces yet.

Marriage seems to easy to walk away from these days, no one puts energy into making it work anymore

Amongst which generation...? All these people complaining about divorce rates, but most of them are amongst people who are of a generation to be brought up with those famous "old-fashioned values". Looks to me that, as the saying goes, the kids are alright. ;-)
