What is the likely of high school sweethearts making it through life together?
Only about 2% of high school couples end up marrying their high school partners. Diving into the realm of high school romance, the astonishing low figure of 2% suggests a prevailing narrative that high school couples rarely waltz into matrimony together. You’ve shared so many firsts: your first steps into adulthood, your first home, and maybe even your first kiss. Unfortunately, the reality isn’t quite as you thought it would be. The divorce rate for high school sweethearts is 54 percent during the first ten years of marriage. This high divorce rate isn’t entirely surprising. According to statistics, “out of 100 high school couples, only about 20% stay together until college. And out of those, only 10% end up getting married.” These numbers indicate that most high school relationships don’t last long but can also last for a longer period.
