Question 3

Describe the factors that make marriages last, and contrast those with predictors of marital dissolution.

Accepted Answer

Marriages that last are often characterized by factors such as effective communication, mutual respect, trust, commitment, and shared values and goals. Couples who communicate openly and honestly with each other are better equipped to navigate challenges and resolve conflicts. Mutual respect and trust form the foundation of a strong marriage, as both partners feel valued and secure in their relationship. Additionally, a deep commitment to each other and a willingness to work through difficulties together contribute to the longevity of a marriage. Finally, sharing common values and goals can help couples build a strong and enduring bond.

On the other hand, predictors of marital dissolution often include factors such as poor communication, lack of respect, infidelity, and diverging values and goals. When couples struggle to communicate effectively or respectfully, it can lead to unresolved conflicts and resentment. Infidelity can also be a major factor in the breakdown of a marriage, as it erodes trust and can be difficult to overcome. Additionally, if partners have diverging values and goals, it can create tension and conflict within the relationship, ultimately leading to marital dissolution. Ultimately, marriages that last are built on a foundation of strong communication, mutual respect, trust, commitment, and shared values and goals, while marriages that dissolve often struggle with poor communication, lack of respect, infidelity, and diverging values and goals.
