Marriage

Nobody goes into a marriage thinking they are going to get divorced but with the rates of divorce what they are in our society it would make sense for adults, both men and women, to learn more about the institution of marriage, the industry of divorce and the psychology behind both. I have been following Paul Dobransky, M.D. who is an author and psychiatrist focusing on the area of relationships and Men's development (he can be found here: http://www.doctorpaul.net/about/) and he had some interesting things to say recently about marriage.

Recently Dr. Paul wrote:

"One thing is for sure - whether you are twenty
years old or eighty, you will one day have to make
your mind up about what you think of the legal
contract called marriage.

You might be surprised to hear that even if you
are a college student and view marriage as a vague
concept at least ten years away, it will actually
serve your dating life NOW, in a remarkable way,
to know ahead of time how it works, what the
challenges to our culture are, and especially what
your opinion of it is.

Why?

Because the desire to partner and the dream of
marriage is biologically hard-wired into a woman's
brain, and tied to whether she will even be
sexually attracted to you.

That's right. Your views on marriage and a woman's
passion for the concept don't just affect old
people. It directly impacts your sexual
attractiveness to women RIGHT NOW."

If you are interested in learning more about the psychological and biological basis of marriage I highly recommend his books. If you are already in the process of divorcing or are thinking about it I recommend you take a look at the divorce-advice-ontario.com website and the multitude of resources available for you so you can learn the logical (institution of divorce) laws so you can get on with your life and resolve the issues around your family law case without giving away your life savings to a lawyer.
