women the freedom to leave a bad marriage, nor the contention that
it is disastrous for children to be subjected to ongoing parental con-
flict. That said, it is important to recognize that divorce often does
have grievous consequences for both parents and children. Divorced
adults report lower levels of well-being, socially and psychologically,
than do people who are married, continuously single, or widowed.15
Divorce often leaves women impoverished – so much so that sin-
gle mothers are several times as likely as two-parent families to be
poor.16 Economic deprivation while growing up has been linked to
poor physical health, diminished intellectual ability and academic
achievement, out-of-wedlock pregnancies and births, and various
other psychological and social difficulties.17 Less well known is the
fact that divorce shortens the average life span, particularly for men.
At age forty-eight, 88 percent of married men will live to age sixty-
five, compared to 65 percent of divorced men.18 For these reasons
alone the divorce cycle is worthy of study.
And there is more. Irrespective of its economic consequences, di-
vorce has numerous negative effects on offspring well-being. Com-
pared to people raised in intact families, the children of divorce have
more emotional problems, are more likely to drop out of school, and
are more likely to smoke, drink, and be sexually active as teenagers.19
Many of these problems extend into adulthood. People from divorced
families on average report worse psychological well-being, more mar-
ital problems, and greater alcohol and tobacco consumption than do
people from intact families. Perhaps more noteworthy is the fact that
adult offspring of divorced families have an approximately one-third
greater chance of dying prematurely.20 Not all children are adversely
affected by parental divorce (family structure is only one of many fac-
tors responsible for how children fare), but it is strongly correlated
with many different aspects of offspring well-being.21
Divorce is an important topic for study because it has so many
consequences for well-being. Its transmission between generations
perpetuates a cycle, adding a whole new dimension. Many families
have more than one child; having grown up in divorced families,
these children will be more likely to end their own marriages. Thus,
each divorce can affect many future marriages.22 The transmission of
