1. Not finishing high school
One of the things that predicts divorce is the level of education. According to experts, couples who spend more time in school are less likely to call it quits and get a divorce.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics website highlights the data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (1979), which analyzed the marriage and divorce patterns of a group of young couples.
The results show that the chance of a marriage coming to an end in divorce was lower for people with more education. Moreover, over 50% of marriages of those who didn’t finish high school ended in divorce, compared with around 30% of marriages of college graduates.
