[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find that marrying a quality person and being a thoughtful spouse has a 100% success rate. There are no people on either side of the family that are divorced. [/quote]
Having a divorce definitely increases the risk of the children getting divorced.[/quote]

Correlation or causation, though? As many posters have pointed out, it's actually very hard to parse the data, because there's no way to make an apples-to-apples comparison. [/quote]

What are you smoking? This is one of the easiest data points to find, which you’ll find they have if you’d read any study. “Kids from X neighborhood, kids from X high school, kids whose parents made X amount, kids whose parents were X as a career.” The ability to parse the data is almost limitless and all things being equal kids with divorced parents are doomed to fail at a rate SUBSTANTIALLY more than their equal peers. This isn’t hard people! Do you divorced folk not know how to read?! [/quote]

How would you design the study that compares couples who divorce to those who are just as unhappy, in relationships that are just as dysfunctional, but stay married? [/quote]They have learned to compartmentalize what exactly happiness is and wouldn’t be able to recognize it, anyway. 
        Happily married people will benefit the kids but if 50 percent get divorced, I’d bet another 30 percent stay married and aren’t happy in the marriage, but stay for kids and that’s the worst thing you should do. [/quote]
