Everyone knows that, unfortunately, a large number of marriages end in divorce. And social scientists have been trying for years to figure out what the root causes and indicators might be. While there's no one singular cause, there are some possible warning signs. These can include coming from broken homes, having alcohol consumption issues, or even being physically attractive. And, while past performance isn't always an indicator of future results, being previously divorced does not seem to help the statistics.
Key Takeaways:
- Everyone knows that, unfortunately, a large number of marriages are likely to end in divorce.
- However, social scientists have found some specific predictors which can indicate the likelihood of this outcome.
- These include being the child of divorcees, having different alcohol consumption preferences, or being overly focused on the self.
