You lived together before you got married
Living together with your partner can be a good way to get to each other better, discover your likes and dislikes and ultimately if you’re meant to be together in the long term. But premarital cohabitation has not been found to increase marital stability, according to a 2012 study published in the Journal of Marriage and Family. In fact, living together before marriage has been shown to lower their rate of divorce in their first year of marriage, but increase their divorce rate after five years.
Your education levels are different
It’s truly beautiful when you fall in love with someone, based on their personality and intellect. But if over the years, that someone hasn’t reached the same level of education as you did, there’s a pretty good chance you’ll end up in divorce. The Journal of Family Issues published a study that revealed that, the larger the gap in educational achievement, the higher the chances of ending one’s marriage.
