How well that illustrates the mutual responsibilities and mutual concerns that must be a part of marriage. The New York Times reported on a Wisconsin study of divorced couples with children. A five-year study by Mavis Hetherington of the University of Virginia concluded that the worst victims of divorces are small boys. And regardless of gender, children of divorced parents cause a disproportionate share of problems in schools. They do worse academically.
Problems are ahead.
They are problems that can be prevented far easier than they can be solved. Redbook magazine recently reported that money and in-laws are no longer the major causes of divorce, though they once were. A new study shows that lack of communication, changing goals, and sexual problems are the major causes of marital difficulties. Whatever the causes, we know the cure. If we care for one another and share with one another and bear with one another, we can spare ourselves many heartaches and spare others much pain.
