Familes that are still together

I’m married, 15 years this August. My parents are still married, had their 50th anniversary in 2019. My in-laws are still married, their 50th is coming up.

I don’t really know but I suspect that data would show that children of long-married couples are less likely to get divorced, but that’s just a hunch. I think some instances will result in divorce no matter what the family lives were like. But I also think that marriage requires work and commitment and perhaps having that long-term marriage as your model puts you in a mindset to see the marriage as something you have fully committed to and it would take something genuine momentous to challenge it.
Playing pop analyst …:
I wonder if kids from homes of divorce might crave stability in relationships and might jump at bad choices too quickly
Then bc they’ve seen simple solutions (or haven’t seen the slogging through the rough patches) it’s easier to make the choice to leave

I know that having watched my mom put up with a LOT from dad has given me more stamina to navigate choppy waters
