I think I'd be willing to say that the direct relationship between marriage-age and stability has no boundaries--that a marriage entered into by two 70-year-olds is more stable than a marriage entered into by two 40-year-olds, and that two 19-year-olds would be more stable than two 17-year-olds.

I think the stability of a marriage is directly related to the
maturity-level of the people who enter into it, but not necessarily the ages. I think most everyone knows people who act vastly immature for their age, and also people who act quite mature for their age... so I'm not so sure that the correlation between age and stability is as direct as one might think.

No problem.
