Is it worth fighting for your marriage? Absolutely! Think of this: Divorce is disastrous for everyone. Divorce can cripple your family’s wealth, destroying everything you’ve busted your arse for since Day 1. It can have a dramatic affect on your children, leaving them feeling abandoned and setting them up for relationship problems of their own in the future. And it doesn’t deliver on its biggest promise: greater happiness for at least one party.
People who bail out are no happier than those who stay and fight for their marriage, according to University of Chicago studies in the 1980s and 1990s. Divorce is not the answer in most cases. And because the problems travel with each partner into new relationships, it’s better to stay put and solve the problem. Second and third marriages fall apart faster and more often than first marriages. It’s no contest!
