    The 10 Weirdest Facts About Sex and Marriage

    Sometimes, when trying to navigate the often rough waters of marriage, I get lost in the storm of everything I think it's supposed to be. It's probably a culmination of reading too many novels and sugar-coated blogs, watching too many romantic comedies that, in my humble opinion, do a huge disservice to those of us just trying to deal with globs of toothpaste and beard whiskers in the sink.When relationship braggarts and one too many rom-com viewings have got me feeling bad about my own union I turn to cold, hard facts for the shot in the arm I need to keep the S.S. Matrimony afloat. Thanks to the good people over at randomhistory.org there are a boatload of fascinating facts about marriage, and I decided to share a few of them with you to show you that you probably aren't alone. That not everyone is rolling around on a sandy beach somewhere making passionate love as ocean waves lick their sweaty skins. That most of us are exhausted and barely have time to roll over once a week for a little nookie. - By Monica Bielanko

      Marrying Young Ends In Divorce More Often
      Marrying younger than age 25 dramatically raises the divorce risk. Also, the divorce risk is higher when the woman is much older than the man, though the reverse isn't as a strong factor.
