Divorce Risk Calculator

It means you're OLD.

N/A = non-applicable, i.e. you'll likely be dead before you have a chance to divorce.

Really? I know PAC is older than me and he married much younger than I did. Maybe I fall into some strange category for which there is insufficient data. I suddenly feel like my life has no direction.

People with similar backgrounds who are already divorced: 36%
People with similar backgrounds who will be divorced over the next five years: 3%


It was interesting that the age choices, at least on mine, had the specific age of 22 as one choice, while all the others were a range of years. I was 22 (by 12 days) when I got married. I feel special, but wonder why, 22 is its own category.

I am guessing they can be more granular for you because your a pre-1980 marriage and your cohort has a larger cross-section of outcomes (i.e., larger percentage that got married already) or for your cohort age at marriage mattered more and so they use tighter age buckets.

22 was not a choice on mine, either. But I was 24 when I got married so it doens't matter.

I was at 21% and N/A

my wife was 43% and N/A.

I think we are real saints for staying with women that are more divorcable than we are.

I think we are real saints for staying with women that are more divorcable than we are.

Maybe it means they are more appealing and so have more options than we do.

Is she younger than you?

Is she younger than you?

Yes, by four years.

[pelagius]

Yes, by four years.

Well, you should tell her that your maturity and wisdom pulled you two through those prime high risk divorce years. Guys like you make marriages work.

This is amusing because my wife is younger than me but has always been the more amture partner in our eternal union.

The data have spoken ... don't fight it ... your are just part of a cohort that likes to be married ... only 21% of your cohort divorced for a group married at least 20 years.

My husband result and mine are exactly the same .What does it mean ? I wish there were some items to calculate polygamy risk though.

[TripletDaddy]

I received an "LOL"

Is that good or bad?

[creekster]

What does it mean ?

I think you might have a grainy cohort, or something like that.

By everyone else's results, it seems like the results are based upon age and amount of time you have already been married. I have only been married for 18months. Religion would be a huge factor in this (especially given most of us are married or sealed in the temple).
