That's kind of a useless statistic because there are different ways to calculate the divorce rate and they give wildly different answers. When the divorce rate did rise in the US, it peaked way back in the early 1980s (granted, this probably has a lot to do with the passage of no fault divorce laws, but it's also ~20 years after the US marriage rate peaked and age at first marriage was at it's lowest, and I say no way that's a coincidence) and has been going down ever since. The lower divorce rate now is no doubt partly due to marriage rates being lower and people who do marry waiting longer to do it, but if the point is to have healthy, stable marriages and not just pair everyone off then that's how things should be.

Yeah, I don't think it's any surprise at all that when people jump right into marriage when they're young and haven't really finished figuring out who they are/have lived their own lives for a while, they're more likely to get divorced. How can you know if you're a good match with someone when you still aren't entirely sure who YOU are and what you want out of life? I have one friend who married young and, unsurprisingly, she and her husband ended up getting divorced in their late 20s because it turned out that being compatible at age 20 doesn't mean you'll be compatible when you're 27 and a full-fledged adult.
