the argument, that having kids a few years after marriage is somehow better because then you know each other and whether the marriage will last, is such garbage. Which part of the world is the divorce rate the highest? In the west right? They know each other quite well before marriage. Yet this doesn’t seem to stop them from divorcing with or without kids. If you are going to divorce, you will do so whether you had kids 5 years after marriage or right after. It really depends on the two people involved and how much they are willing to compromise.

One of the reasons why the divorce rate is higher in Western countries is because divorce is not a taboo like it is in Eastern countries. There is not enough social pressure on couples to force them to stay together like there is in the East. If they’re not happy in their marriage they get divorced. That generally doesn’t happen in the East. It doesn’t mean people in the East have happier marriages.
