The purpose of this study is to identify factors that predict delayed divorce. The findings show that factors which influence marital stability in general also correlate with delayed divorce in the same direction. Wife's age at marriage, age of the youngest child, wife's religion, region of residence, and metropolitian residence have substantial effects on delayed divorce, but the effects of race, parental divorce, premarital pregnancy and socioeconomic status are relatively small.
