I know this is patently obvious to most of us here at RVF, but I came across this article a short while ago on Google News and had to share.
Pre-marriage doubts signal unhappy unions, divorce
Quote:Quote:
Among the newlyweds, 47% of husbands and 38% of wives said they had doubts. The study, published online in the Journal of Family Psychology, found that about 10% more husbands than wives had doubts, but the women's inklings of trouble better predicted divorce.
Among women, 19% who reported pre-wedding doubts were divorced four years later, compared with 8% who didn't report having doubts. For husbands, 14% who reported doubts were divorced four years later, compared with 9% who didn't report doubts.
I really think marriage is only best for beta males paired with beta females, who should consider themselves lucky not to reach old age alone.

This is probably simply due to the fact that a man tries hard to honor his word, while a woman is usually primarily driven by emotions. So even if a man is unhappy he is less likely to break his word. So no surprise here.
