So you go from about a 1/2 chance of divorce to about a 1/2 chance of divorce. Got it.

Sounds more like age doesn't really matter and emotional maturity matters more.

The difference between 35% and 60% isn't insignificant...

I mean you're not wrong about emotional maturity but the less years you've been alive, the less time you've had to emotionally mature

Just on the math rq, 25% almost certainly means 25% of the risk is reduced… therefore 60%->45%

Depends/sometimes.... If it's like you said then 25% of that 60% and you get 60-15=45. If it's some rando looking at 60% total and 35% total and they go "oh neat one of these numbers is 25 bigger/smaller!" Then maybe not?
