According to the latest government figures, released last September, there were just over 102,000 divorces in England and Wales in 2017. Though the majority of these were between opposite-sex couples who were in their mid-to-late 40s, almost 12,000 of those divorcing were, like Rachel and Rob, in their 20s. In fact, the age at which you tie the knot is considered to be a risk factor when it comes to divorce, with those marrying in their teens and early twenties thought to be at greater risk. Research concerning women who married for the first time in 1976 found that more than 50% of those who married when they were under 20 had divorced by their 30th anniversary. Arguably, with the advent of dating apps - and the rise of ‘micro cheating’ - there has never been a more difficult time to be young and married.
