Divorce, is it Really the Answer?

Logically you would think that if you are not happily married and you seek to divorce than you will be happy. Reality says different.

Recently, a report by the Institute for American Values, a private, nonpartisan family think tank, challenged the divorce presupposition.

“In popular discussion and in scholarly literature, the assumption has always been that if a marriage is unhappy, if you get a divorce, it is likely you will be happier than if you stayed married,” said David Blankenhorn of the Institute. “This is the first time this has been tested empirically, and [the tests show that] there is no evidence to support this assumption.“
