Calm Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 http://www.deseretne...ast-longer.htmlUtah is only beaten by Wyoming by a tenth of a point....not sure whether or not that is in the margin of error. One interesting point is that Utah has both younger marriages and longer lasting ones (at least part to the LDS culture promoting both). It would be interesting to do a study separating the two to see if younger marriages contribute or detract from length of marriage among LDS (as opposed to general population as stats show in general population that younger marriages do end up in divorce more often, but besides divorce it would be interesting to see when divorce occurs...do younger marriages give themselves more or less time before deciding to end things).
Calm Posted August 28, 2011 Author Posted August 28, 2011 Anyone have a link to the "Marriage Events in America" report, the only thing that comes up for me is a repeat of the above article?Think it might be "Marital Events in America" as I just found a pdf for it, not sure if this link will work or if it is the right one:www.census.gov/prod/2011pubs/acs-13.pdf - 2011-08-25
thesometimesaint Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 calmoriah:There probably is a positive correlation between religion and length a marriage lasts, but there is an establshed negative one for age at marriage. The best determinate for a second divorce is a first one.
