Even though I know every relationship and every person is different, and we never truly know what’s going on in a relationship unless we’re in it, maybe—just maybe—we can agree that when we get into three- and four-time divorced individuals, there might be some commonalities we can find in their personalities.

If we can agree that many couples who won’t live together before marriage are religious or conservative, then it’s not a leap to suggest that those same couples have children sooner. Whether they don’t believe in birth control, or feel that making children is their responsibility to their religion or traditions, they may make kids sooner than couples who live together before marriage. That means that, should they want to divorce, they have a big thing (kids) making it quite difficult.
