An Australian study says that family history plays a crucial role in whether you will divorce. If your parents split you run twice as much unavoidable risk going through a divorce. Thank goodness there is not a gene for divorce, however the apple does not far from the tree. If there is no gene associated with divorce than it is environmental. I disagree with this study because, wouldn’t make sense to be more cautious if ones parents were divorced. Hopefully off springs of divorced parents would not jump into a marriage without seriously looking at the pro’s and con’s of marriage. I would genuinely suppose they would try and not make the same mistake their parents made. According to Dr. Stephen Stansfeld , professor of psychiatry at Barts, and London, Queen Mary’s School of Medicine says, people who’s parents went through a divorce as children may unconsciously be attracted to mates with similar experiences.  This in  fact raises their odds of being divorced themselves.   I feel it’s so important that people who plan on getting married have pre-marital counseling before they make such a serious commitment. There are so many pre- marriage courses couples can take to prepare themselves for marriage . I believe the best prevention is education. When all else fails get Tony Soprano to fix things up.
