Men are always, regardless of actual circumstances, regarded as the bad person in a divorce.

I don't think that's true at all.  I don't know many dudes who have been divorced but of those that I do it sounded like, generally speaking, they married crazy bitches.

It is always the one you aren't friends with that was the crazy bad person that caused the divorce.

Honestly saying "don't get married until you're 30" or something like that is pretty naive.  If you love someone and want to commit to them, take it seriously, but don't set some arbitrary age or length of engagement, or something like that. I think Stevesie put it really well.

Also, the 50% of marriages end in divorce stat is completely bogus.

I got married at 24 and still going strong.  I feel like my marriage gets better every year.  We continue to grow as a pair and it's awesome.  I hope anyone and everyone who is or intends to get married will experience the same happiness with their significant other as I do. 

I'm also a huge believer in cohabitation prior to marriage.

If you're old enough to die for your country, you're old enough to get married and have a beer at your wedding.

I met my wife when I was 21 and she was 19.  We got married when I was 25 and she was 23.

We lived together first.

Not once did I wish I would have met her later in life.  However, while she disagrees, I don't regret spending 3-4 years dating/being engaged.  That was very beneficial for us in my opinion.

That may be different for others, but nothing about our relationship really changed the day we got married.  We already lived together, bought vehicles together, had pets together, etc.  That transition had already occurred prior to being married.  We just had a really nice wedding and honeymoon, and then it was back to business as usual.  That worked for me.

How old are you now? Is your wife still two years younger?

I'm not saying that men are the bad person in a divorce, but are usually blamed for the divorce whether they initiated it or not.

Agree.  I think blame is usually appropriately placed or shared.

I've noticed that my generation is a whole lot more health-conscious than my parents', so hopefully that makes a pretty big difference.
