Familes that are still together

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

Of course these data and analyses are across a macro universe of huge numbers - so they do not control anything and there will always be anecdotes of the complete opposite happening.

But:

Research shows that children of divorce are more likely to experience a divorce themselves. The statistics vary, but one study by researchers Paul Amato and Danelle Deboer indicated that if a woman’s parents divorced, her odds of divorce increased 69%, while if both a husband and wife’s parents divorced, the risk of divorce increased by 189%. They cite 10 other longitudinal studies over 20 years that reached similar results. Put plainly, they explain that, “parental divorce is one of the best documented risk factors for marriage dissolution” (Amato & Deboer, 2001, p. 1038).
