can money buy you long-lasting love?
the often-quoted statistic that 50% of marriages end in divorce is not really true, according to some new research, in fact, marriage stats seem to be improving with time. it seems since the 70s, when women started getting edumacated and delaying marriage until a later age, marriage stability has increased. a second factor influencing marriage stability seems to be education, in addition to age, “a full 81% of college graduates who got hitched in that decade at age 26 or older were still married 20 years later. Only 65% of college grads who said I do before their 26th birthday made it that far…just 49% of those who married young and did so without a degree lasted 20 years.” the article it didn’t say anything about rich, uneducated people like the people pictured here. of the four couples pictured for this story:
- michael douglas married the first time at 33 and graduated from college; his spouse catherine zeta-jones married in her 30s (we don’t know how old she really is) and went to an arts college/school for 3 years.
- will smith married the first time before 26 and married the second time at 30– he didn’t go to college but he was accepted to m.i.t.; his spouse jada pinkett-smith didn’t got to college but married at 26.
- ryan reynolds got married at 32 and he dropped out of college; he married scarlett johansson who was 24 at the time –she hasn’t been to college.
- joel madden and nicole richie aren’t married yet but when they get married, they’ll be closer to, if not 30. neither of them went to college.
they’re all filthy stinkin’ rich. but you know what the beatles say about money and love.
