I don't believe education has anything to do with divorces. The very wealthy and educated get divorced at the same rate or higher than the poor and uneducated. In fact, the stats show the poor and uneducated often stay together because they can't afford to divorce.

You are entering the age when you will see a higher percentages of couples you know begin to divorce. Young children often keep couples together, but after a while for some, the bad relationship is just not worth it for one or both of the parties.

It will sadden you to see the children spending split time when you thought those families were golden. And it will never be a perfect solution. The dilemma is, does one spend the rest of life and perhaps longer, miserable, or does one try to get a better shake because two can't make it work? Many spend life together miserable to stay together. Others break it off. There is no perfect solution, other than to make it work well. Nobody needs to have a relationship that isn't uplifting and energizing. To choose to be miserable is not a solution.

With that said, if one divorces, there will be moments of sadness and wondering if misery wasn't better, but the frequency of those moments diminish over time.

That's not what I've read. The poor tend to marry younger, which leads to a higher likelihood of divorce. Maybe if you control for marriage age, there is no difference.
