Gotta wonder how much of this is the result of getting married in high school, when you're immature and horny and press ganged into the first person you sleep with.
In my experience, people who date around in their teens/twenties and find someone later in life tend to feel happier and more settled. By contrast, folks married at adolescence grow out of love, get divorced, and then do crazy rumspringa stuff into their 30s/40s in an attempt to recapture their youth.
for what its worth, my grandparents got married right out of HS, and nearly 80 years later they're still together.
Trends are not absolute. Just because something is statistically more likely does not mean it is guaranteed.
while true, one more data point is never a bad thing to know.
It's not necessarily a good thing in context, though, as it may skew perception to know one personal data point as opposed to all the impersonal data points of an overall trend. People tend to put more importance on personal anecdotes, even if it has the same basic value as any other data point.
