The
University of Chicago performed a study.
They were looking to see if divorced couples were any happier five years
after the divorce.
The
polled samples of couples who stayed together and couples who called it quits.
Checking with them at the beginning and end of the five year period. What they found is that, on the average, the
couples who chose to divorce were no happier five years later than the ones who
stuck it out. This also proved true for
those who remarried.
The
results show that two out of three couples who stuck together ended up happier
in five years. Of those who divorced,
only one in five ended up happier.
Does
this mean you should stick it out? The
results seem to say yes. One thing is
sure, living with "I tried and failed" seems to sit better than
"I wish I'd tried harder."
