5 sure signs that your marriage is doomed

Each feature is supported by research scientists.

1. YOU MARRY VERY EARLY OR AFTER 32 YEARS

Everyone knows that it’s not worthwhile to marry a man at 18 who seems to you to be a triumph of evolution and a highlight of the population. In the end, at a young age, predilections change monthly, and marriage is a more or less stable phenomenon, and such out of sync is expected to lead to divorce. But the fact that the probability of a divorce after 32 years each year grows by 5%, I hear for the first time.

A study on this topic was conducted at the University of Utah, led by Nicola Wolfinger. According to the scientist, after 32 years to start living in close proximity to another person is not easy because of the habits that had developed by this age. Therefore, those who marry in their late 30s have an increased chance of divorce.

2. YOU DO NOT HAVE A PERMANENT WORK

Alas, despite all the achievements of feminism, the stereotype of the “breadwinner” is still strong in society to the extent that it is able to influence the number of divorces.

The results of the Harvard study indicate that in families where men do not have a permanent job, a divorce is more likely by 3.3%. In families where a man puts on a tie every day, takes a briefcase and jumps into the service, this probability is lower – only 2.5%. So, the next time your wife will beg you to quit your job and give her the opportunity to fully provide for you, selflessly refuse.

3. YOU DON”T HAVE HIGHER EDUCATION

Yes, it turns out, it was necessary to study not only in order to get a decent job (see the previous paragraph), but also in order not to divorce. At least, this is exactly how the article published on the official page of the US Department of Employment claims.

The article refers to a large-scale National Study of Youth, begun in 1979. “Among those couples whose education is below average, the percentage of divorce is very high, more than fifty,” the article says, “while in couples who have received higher education, this percentage is only thirty-three.”

4. YOU ARE VERY, VERY, VERY STRONGLY LOVE EACH OTHER

It would seem that if at the wedding the newlyweds clung so tightly to each other, that it is not clear where the bridegroom ends and the bride begins, the divorce does not threaten them! Quite the contrary, psychologist Ted Huston objected.

For 13 years, Huston has watched the development of 168 couples. The observation showed that those couples who were literally obsessed with each other at the beginning of the marriage — they didn’t let go of each other’s hands — were rubbing their noses all the time and giggling happily – they divorced seven or more years later. But those couples who seemed calm and reasonable continue to bear the cross of a happy marriage.

5. YOU DO NOT LIKE TO FIGHTING, PREFERING TO TILL THE CONFLICT

Since childhood, you do not suffer female hysterics, and your wife can not tolerate when chasing her around the house with a frying pan, so both of you prefer not to sort things out, but to hush up the problem. Well, or go for a couple of days, cool down and move together again, without clarifying anything. In general, anything, just not a scandal.

But one study warned such silent people: the longer you close your eyes to conflicts, the higher the likelihood of divorce. So scandal to health relationships. The main thing – no physical abuse.
