Dr, Norman Anderson asked a group of his colleagues this question three years ago. Has there been any new research on this topic.
Dr Anderson was, of course chiding his colleagues for researching safe little niches and leaving the useful questions alone..

Even though there are a lot of papers on the subject, they have not touched on a solution that can be scientifically verified. papers are just papers, unless they do some good.
It’s not safe because the answer fundamentally is we are not meant to be married – human’s are not monogamous creatures.
On top of that obvious (yet still somehow “controversial”) answer the most recent social change that has enabled this is feminism and the biting conclusion is that since feminism women are even less happy in life than they were before.
It’s also not as-if the research hasn’t been done – it’s been done.
“In the 1950’s, when the wife stayed home to cook, clean and take care of kids she just had to accept any bad behavior from her husband.”
Oh please. As-though woman were somehow better behaved.
The only thing that used to keep them in check was how hard they were held under their man’s thumb and now that they aren’t, women’s behavior is collectively deplorable.
Half the marriages fail now because both the husband and wife are equal partners in the marriage. Both likely have an education and career. If one cheats, there will be a divorce. If one is on drugs, there will be a divorce. If one spends too much or is a drunk, etc, there will be a divorce. In the 1950’s, when the wife stayed home to cook, clean and take care of kids she just had to accept any bad behavior from her husband. What else could she do? Now there is a choice. Stay married or get a divorce.
it happens the world over
no big deal nowadays
although sad
marriage should be for life
but isn’t now and there are more and more dis functional families about
its not just in the USA but in the UK and all over
life is becoming more of a Society to evolve and ask to accept families that have unusual means
There are tens of thousands of research papers wrote by psychologist and sociologist as to why marriages fail. Just google divorce and you will get more material than you can read in a life time.
Maybe Dr. Anderson needs to google divorce.
society has made DIVORCE way to easy and no rules to marriage
Everyone looking for the answer to that question. To many people lose contact with people living in their own home.
