Quote by Elizabeth Gilbert
What I think is amazing is not that 85% of people who get married

What I think is amazing is not that 85% of people who get married under the age of 25 get divorced, its that 15% of them stay together. How did they manage to pull that off? You almost cant wait too long. Its the single simplest measure to predict divorce. – Elizabeth Gilbert
