“…Distinguishing among marriages on the basis of the severity of the aggression has been particularly useful (Cascardi, Avery-Leaf, O'Leary, & Slep, 1999; Langhinrichsen-Rohling & Dostal, 1996; Pan, Neidig, & O'Leary, 1994a, 1994b; Vivian & Malone, 1997). Accordingly, we examined the association between severity of aggression and marital outcomes.…”

Shortly after marriage, 56 couples provided data on physical aggression and other predictors of marital adjustment. At 6-month intervals over the next 4 years, spouses reported on their marital quality and stability. Results indicated that marital dysfunction was more common among aggressive than among nonaggressive couples (70% vs. 38%) and among severely aggressive than among moderately aggressive couples (93% vs. 46%). Aggression remained a reliable predictor of marital outcomes after the authors controlled for stressful events and negative communication. These findings help to refine developmental models of marital dysfunction, which often overlook the role of aggression, and can provide information for prevention programs for marital distress, which typically do not distinguish between aggressive and nonaggressive couples.

“…143 People raised in divorced families are less likely than those from intact families to believe that marriage is enduring and permanent, 144 are less likely to insist upon a lifelong marital commitment, 145 and are less likely to think positively of themselves as parents. 146 These attitudinal differences among children of divorced parents are noticeable even as early as kindergarten. 147 Children from divorced families are more tolerant of divorce than are children from intact families, though this is only likely if their parents had remarried.…”

202.393.2100 marri.frc.org/effects-divorce-children desire to have children. Paul Amato, professor of sociology at Pennsylvania State University summed it up: divorce leads to "disruptions in the parent-child relationship, continuing discord between former spouses, loss of emotional support, economic hardship, and an increase in the number of other negative life events." 3 The last year for accurate numbers on children annually affected by divorce was 1988 when the Center for Disease Control stopped gathering the data. That year the number was over 1,044,000. However, since then the percent of women who have been divorced has continued to rise. 4 Therefore, conservatively, we estimate the number to be at least 1,000,000 children per year. Should one add the number affected by the dissolution of "an always intact" cohabitation of natural parents, the number is significantly greater. We do know that for all U.S. children, as of the latest data from the 2009 American Community Survey, only 47 percent reach age 17 in an intact married family. 5 Divorce detrimentally impacts individuals and society in numerous other ways:• Religious practice: Divorce diminishes the frequency of worship of God and recourse to Him in prayer. • Education: Divorce diminishes children's learning capacity and educational attainment. • The marketplace: Divorce reduces household income and deeply cuts individual earning capacity. • Government: Divorce significantly increases crime, abuse and neglect, drug use, and the costs of compensating government services. • Health and well-being: Divorce weakens children's health and longevity. It also increases behavioral, emotional, and psychiatric risks, including even suicide.The effect of divorce on children's hearts, minds, and souls ranges from mild to severe, from seemingly small to observably significant, and from short-term to long-term. None of the effects applies to each child of every divorced couple, nor has any one child suffered all the effects we will discuss. There is no way to predict how any particular child will be affected nor to what extent, but it is possible to predict divorce's societal effects and how this large cohort of children will be affected as a group. These effects are both numerous and serious.
