Question 10 (3 points)

Based on current research, if you were a family counselor, what advice would you give to a couple who was thinking about getting a divorce because they fought constantly, but also thought it might be better to stay together for the sake of their children?

Question 10 options:

A two-parent family is more functional and so is always preferable to a single-parent family.

Adults are just as likely to marry and stay married whether or not their parents divorced when they were children or stayed married for a lifetime.

Families don’t begin to pull themselves back together until about 6 years after the divorce.

You should only stay together if you can find a way to work out your problems without fighting, because a conflict-ridden two-parent family is more harmful to a child’s development than a cohesive single-parent family.
