Reading time
• Dear Ms. Marriage,My boyfriend and I got together five years
ago. I think it’s time for us to get engaged. My boyfriend doesn’t
want to get married before he’s thirty. He says couples who get
married in their twenties are more likely to get divorced. Is this
true, or does my boyfriend need to get real?
• Yours,
• Desperate to Marry
Reading time
• Dear Desperate,

• It seems you are really excited about getting married. You won’t be as excited when it
comes to getting divorced. It doesn’t matter how long ago you got together. What matters
is how well you get along. Have you tried living together? You might get a shock when you
realize how hard it is to get along in a shared space. It sounds like your boyfriend is not
ready to get married. Maybe he wants to get to know you better. You could try taking a
relationship break. If you both feel that you want to get back together, then you can think
about getting old together.

• Best of luck to both of you,

• Ms. Marriage
