good catch its not age sensitive in fact for 2nd round older people divorce goes up 12 percent.
btw the actual rate of divorce is 67% not 50%.
why so high why not low? changes in the law have made divorce advantageous for women $$$, 70% of filing is by women. men should never never marry w/o a prenup.
they should be coaching their sons and nephews on this.
prenup dont leave home w/o it.
that will make divorce go back to what it was before no fault.

No, it's wrong. Divorce rates have been going down since 1981 and they are now at their lowest rates since 1970. Huckleberry is a notorious liar about this issue. He has his reasons but I don't know them.
In regards to your original question - no I don't think the age of the participants in a first time marriage makes one single bit of difference, it all comes down to compatibility and having the intelligence and/or luck to choose the correct partner in the first instance.
The wisdom to deal with these issues intelligently tends to increase with age.
Actually, by then the risk has gone up again. Not as high as for 18 or 19 year old but the real risk is actually far greater for men. Lose your house and you have far less time to recoup.
Unless you retitle it, your house that you acquired PRIOR to marriage is YOURS.
And you are correct that women file for divorce first in most cases--that is, women with children. After a marriage breakdown and the departure of a spouse, the custodial parent (typically the mother) has to secure legal support for those children as soon as possible and this can only be done by filing separation/divorce papers in a court of law.
Age: Women: Men:
Under 20 years old 27.6% 11.7%
20 to 24 years old 36.6% 38.8%
25 to 29 years old 16.4% 22.3%
30 to 34 years old 8.5% 11.6%
35 to 39 years old 5.1% 6.5%
Looking at this it shows that younger at the age of marriage shows a higher chance of divorce.
The current trend is closer to 40% rate of failure.

Reminds me of Kim although she is not a man. She signed for prenup before she even got married. My sister told me that she's smart, but I told her "yeah, she is but it shows that she cared more about her money than her marriage to begin with".
