Marriage and Divorce: How To Keep A Lasting Relationship
A lasting relationship between a husband and a wife depends on their personalities,study shows. Justin Lavner, a graduate student, and UCLA psychologist Thomas Bradbury conducted a study about people with satisfing marriages and still ended up in separation.
They conducted a research on 136 happily maried couples and assessed their relationship from six months to ten years of their marriage. But Fifteen percent of them or 21 couples ended up in divorce.
Bradbury and Lavner believed that several factors affect the marriage like support behaviors, parenthood, affect, and problem solving skills. However, after conducting the study, they were not convinced that these factors are the underlying causes of divorce.
Instead, they found out that personality highly affects the status of marital relationship.
“Low-distress marriages that eventuated in divorce were characterized by the display of more anger and contempt and by more negative skills (e.g., disagreement, blame, invalidation) during laboratory-based discussions of important relationship difficulties,” stated on Journal of Family Psychology, the study that Bradbury and Lavner conducted.
