The title of this article tells us what it wants to say with the whole essay. THe author tells us how ,statistically, marriages with a greater age difference have higher percentages of divorces. Studies from the university the author works in show that the higher the age difference, the higher the chance of divorce is. He starts by saying that age is not the only factor that makes the rate of divorce greater. He says that the success of a marriage also depends on them having money, having children, and the length of time a couple spends dating before they "tie the knot." The statistics show that age is in fact a very big factor when coming to the subject of divorce. Age is significant because with an age difference, there is the difference in life experience and cultural reference points. When the two people are from different generations, a lot is different from one another.
The author is successful in this article. I was able to read and understand everythign easily and quickly. He was objective in his writing and he successfully took a side in this subject. The fluency of the article was good for it was in balance (not to fast and not to slow).
