If you have
been lucky enough to grow up with multiple siblings, it lowers the risk of
filing for divorce later in life. That finding comes from a new study that was
conducted by researchers at Ohio State University, which also finds that the
risk of divorce drops with the number of siblings that the person has.
The researchers
found that there was no difference in the divorce risk of a person with just
one or two siblings, and only child. There was no difference in the risk of
divorce among these people. However, the picture changed dramatically when more
siblings were added to the picture. When the researchers compared children
brought up in large families with those who were only children, they found a significant
gap in the likelihood of divorce.
This
difference in divorce rates depending on the size of the family is not exactly
surprising to Los Angeles divorce lawyers. If you have been brought up in a large
family, you are used to frequently sharing space and attention with other
siblings in the family, and will probably find it easier to navigate the
sometimes difficult and muddled waters after marriage. You're probably more
likely to compromise, and more open to looking at another person's point of
view. That makes for a more successful marriage and a lower risk of divorce.
The
researchers however were surprised at how significant the difference was
between people, who have large families, and those who were only children or had
just one or two siblings. The research was based on more than 57,000 adults
across the United States.
