Conventional wisdom has said the older you are when you get married, the lower your chances for divorce… but a new analysis says otherwise.

According to research by Nicholas H. Wolfinger, a sociologist at the University of Utah, he’s found that after a certain point, the risk of divorce starts to rise again as you get older.

As you can see, the risk of divorce declines steadily from your teens into your late 20s, but somewhere in the early 30s it starts to creep back up again.

"Those who tie the knot after their early thirties are now more likely to divorce than those who marry in their late twenties." says Wolfinger.

The chart is based on a statistical analysis of data from the National Survey of Family Growth, a nationally representative survey administered by the CDC in the States every few years.
