→Covenant Marriage
== Covenant Marriage ==
== Covenant Marriage ==
In order to help solve the social problems created by inordinately high divorce rates, some states have begun passing laws enabling [[covenant marriage]]s. A covenant marriage in some cases is harder to obtain than a default lawful marriage license and also is more difficult to break (the common exceptions being abuse, abandonment or adultery).<ref>http://marriage.about.com/cs/covenantmarriage/a/covenant.htm</ref>

The abstract for the journal article ''Personality and multiple divorce. A prospective study.'' indicates:
:"A review of cross-sectional and prospective research in both normal and clinical samples suggests that increased risk of divorce is associated with socially nonconforming, impulsive, and stimulus-seeking personality traits. This exploratory study addresses the question of whether individuals who divorce more than once are especially likely to exhibit such general personality dispositions. Subjects were male physicians (N = 431) who had completed the MMPI before entering medical school and who were followed up more than two decades later by a mail questionnaire that inquired about their health status, health practices, subjective well-being, and marital history. As indicated by higher scores on the MMPI Psychopathic Deviate (Pd) scale and greater likelihood of concurrently reporting several negative health practices (e.g., cigarette smoking), multiply divorced physicians did tend to exhibit greater nonconforming, impulsive, and risk-taking tendencies than both never-divorced and once-divorced physicians. Possible social-psychological processes linking such personality dispositions to the risk of multiple divorce are discussed, along with suggestions for further research."<ref>[https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3950599/ Personality and multiple divorce.

The abstract for journal article ''Personality characteristics of Divorce-Prone individuals: A preliminary clinical study'' published in the journal ''Contemporary Family Therapy'' indicates:
{{Cquote|This study focuses on Divorce-Prone individuals and the question of why some persons fail in one marriage after another. The authors studied 12 individuals who had each been divorced two or more times. They found that the cases fell into one of three broad and overlapping groups. The groups have been called the Self-Involved [[Narcissism|Narcissists]], the Compliant Depressed, and the Casualties of Life's Vicissitudes. The individuals and the groups demonstrate a different etiology, different treatment problems, and a very different prognosis.<ref>''[https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/BF00891873 Personality characteristics of Divorce-Prone individuals: A preliminary clinical study]'' by Robert M. Counts MD & Anita Sacks MSW, volume 8, pages111–123 (1986)</ref>}}
According to the psychologist Holly Parker who teaches the course "The Psychology of Close Relationships" at [[Harvard University]], "Research does suggest that people who marry multiple times are more likely (than people who do not marry multiple times) to have personality traits and issues with emotional health that make it difficult to maintain satisfying, long-term relationships. That can mean, even if you're not looking for anything lasting, you won't have much fun with a narcissist whose self-absorption and emotional detachment helped end several marriages."<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20190808110458/https://www.chicagotribune.com/lifestyles/ct-xpm-2013-01-16-sc-fam-0115-dating-divorced-20130115-story.html Dating in an age of multiple divorces] by Richard Asa, ''Chicago Tribune'', January 16, 2013</ref>
