Singles nation: Why so many Americans are unmarried

Yes, people do tend to rush into marriage because they don't know the logistics of it, but as you said, your parents are still married and they got married at 25. It just depends on the compatibility of the couple and how they deal with each other once they're married. As I said before, another factor is whether they live together before they're married. This is happening more often than it used to, but there are people who still believe in waiting before marriage to live together and to have sex because they feel it's the right thing to do. And while that's fine, that could pose a problem as they don't live together before then and don't really know how it would work if they don't try it beforehand.

Look at my parents. They didn't live together before they were married and now they can't stand each other. I told Mom that if she would have lived with him before they got married, she would have had a better chance of knowing what she was getting into and could have gotten out of it.
