A successful and enduring marriage is often considered one of life’s greatest achievements. The path to a long, happy marriage is found through conscious effort from both partners.
A strong, healthy marriage is important for the health and well-being of children. A 2021 review published in The Linacre Quarterly cited results from researcher Paul Amato, who has reviewed five decades of the consequences of parental divorce on children. He found that on “average over all studies and measures in both Europe and America, divorce reduced child well-being by about a third of a standard deviation compared to children with intact married parents.”
The review also highlights that “children with divorced parents, compared with children with continuously married parents, exhibit more conduct problems, have more emotional problems, obtain lower academic test scores and school grades, and have more problems with social relationships.”
In a recent interview, Lee Wilson, also known as “Coach Lee,” shared timeless wisdom, practical advice, and keys to creating and maintaining a blissful, enduring marriage.
