Children of divorce still say 'I do' to marriage

A massive 80 per cent of women whose parents divorced still want to get married, according to a survey for a women’s magazine. Asking 2,000 women in their mid-twenties, the Marriage and Wedding Survey for More magazine showed 78 per cent see marriage as the “ultimate commitment.” And most young women believe marriage is the best foundation for children.

According to a book released in the UK in the same month, parents who want to raise happy, successful children need to prioritise their marriages not their children. To Raise Happy Kids Put Your Marriage First’s author David Code said: “Today’s number one myth about parenting is that the more attention we give our kids, the better they’ll turn out. But we parents have gone too far: our over-focus on our children is doing them more harm than good.”

In 2008 children under ten said divorce would be the first thing they would get rid of if they ruled the world. Christian Institute
