In this psychology episode, host Alyson uses her psychology and research science training to break down the data-driven predictors of divorce. Moving beyond common myths, we'll look at how specific personality traits, attractiveness, age, relationship history, career paths, education levels, physical or mental health differences, substance use, religious differences, and having children mathematically alter the longevity of a marriage.

Then, we will look closely at the ultimate accurate predictor -John Gottman and Robert Levenson’s historic longitudinal research models to explain why some marriages face a rapid five-year collapse due to high-conflict behavior, while other couples experience a silent, neutral decline that leads to a split after 14 years. We'll explain Gottman's predictors of divorce that can predict the downfall of a marriage with 94% accuracy.

Grab a notepad and get ready to calculate your relationship's survival.
