Should unhappy people get divorced

Should unhappily married people split up? Ms Scarf addresses this question in a chapter called "Does Divorce Make People Happy?" The short answer seems to be, rarely. She quotes a study of people in unhappy marriages which followed up the couples five years later. Its conclusion: unhappily married adults who divorced or separated were no happier, on average, than unhappily married adults who stayed married to the same partner. Only one in five of them was happily remarried. More surprisingly, a majority of those who remained married pronounced themselves happy at the end of the five-year period.

Interesting article ... Seems the Indian way of sticking with it does work finally :-)
