Stats you didn’t know about marriage – Marriage is a very beautiful thing, especially if the two lovebirds try to stick to the vows that they commit themselves to on their wedding day. In most fairy tales, the prince marries the princess and the two live happily ever after; however, no one usually thinks about what happens a few years into their marriage, or how they deal with the problems that every couple goes through.

Marriage is not always what the fairy tale stories and romantic movies show it to be, because there is a lot of hard work involved in keeping marriage alive and even harder work to keep the flame of love alive. The problem with most people is that they get into marriage without going through some form of premarital counseling, thinking that all marriage needs to work is two people in love.
Although it is difficult to determine the exact percentage of marriages that end up in divorce, statistics show that almost half of all marriages today end up in divorce. This is definitely bad news for everyone wishing to get married, and the result of this is that most people are shying away from the institution of marriage altogether. However, it is also very important for everyone to realize that marriage is unique in every situation, and just because many marriages are failing, it does not mean that theirs is doomed to fail as well.
What is your understanding of marriage, and how much do you really know about it? Here are a few statistics about marriage that might shock you. Which of these do you already know?
10. Couples who have attended college decrease their chances of divorce by 13%
If you have an opportunity to attend college, please do so because the benefits are more than just the certificate you get at the end of your course. According to statistics, a couple that attended college is 13% more likely to stay married. In addition, such a couple has a significantly higher level of satisfaction and happiness in marriage when you compare them to high school dropouts who get married, largely owing to the fact that they have a better income and that they never married too early. On the other hand, a woman who continues on with her education to attain a masters or even a doctorate degree without getting married continues to reduce her chances of ever getting married, probably because a man will find it hard to approach her and she will hardly have time to socialize owing to her focus on her studies.
