"Ten Actions to Minimize the Risk of Divorce.\n\n1. Wait until at least 20 years old to marry; 25 is better.\n\n2. Avoid premarital pregnancy and don't marry just because of a pregnancy.\n\n3. Become proactive in maintaining your marriage through books, seminars, and counseling.\n\n4. Understand risks of cohabitation; cohabitation does not equal divorce.\n\n5. Once married, leave the marriage market; don't keep an eye open for something better.\n\n6. Learn to compromise with each other. Work around those irreconcilable differences.\n\n7. Keep a positive outlook and look beyond today.\n\n8. Take your time in selecting a mate. Don't rush into marriage.\n\n9. Take the media with a grain of salt. Don't assume your marriage will be like the headlines.\n\n10. Focus on the positive benefits of being married and don't dwell on the negatives."
