Marriage Loses in our 'Divorce Culture' (225)
posted Tue, 11/03/09
To the Editor: Self fulfilling prophecy!
... society's greater acceptance of divorce may itself be contributing to the decline in marital happiness. A study published in the Journal of Family Issues recently concluded that "by adopting attitudes that provide greater freedom to leave unsatisfying marriages, people may be increasing the likelihood that their marriages will become unsatisfying in the long run." It seems that the divorce culture feeds on itself, creating a one-way downward spiral of unhappiness and failure.
