When a marriage breaks apart, a long list of loved ones tell you that time will heal your pain. Those people are not wrong. A good friend will tell you not to misunderstand the sign that will lead you to a long and healthy recovery. Read on to learn simple tips and tricks that will help you get through this tough time.
Key Takeaways:
- In fact, across the board, people get married later than we might think, if we were to judge, say, by the number of save-the-dates we get in the mail. Women tend to get married just a year or two sooner. When you take everyone into account, regardless of education or locality, less than half the population has ever been married by age 29.
- Just seeing the big picture is enough to remind me that it is foolish to wind our social clocks by our personal sample size of one. Or by the highly skewed sample of what we see on Facebook, which some research suggests contributes to unhappiness for this very reason.
- If you need a peer group for a benchmark, the nation as a whole offers a much more comforting one.
