zonder, Not blaming you for anything here, but just pointing out the importance of scientific method of hypothesis, experiment, and proof. Intuition is great if you are guessing whether or not your wife wants roses tonight, but it cannot be a basis for claiming validity of any hypothesis. Of course some research study would provide an answer, but there won't be a study for everything. Empirical evidence is a scientific method, its just that you are not dealing with a big enough and diverse enough sample to make far ranging conclusions. Here is something tangentially related, but based on big sample: The survey showed that men who grew up in married homes, with involved fathers and regular religious attendance, were more likely to be in the "married" category than "single" category. Conversely, men who grew up in nontraditional, nonreligious homes were more likely to still be single and have ambivalent views of marriage. This doesn't mean being raised in a single-parent home rules out marriage, Mr. Popenoe said. "There are millions of happily married people" who come from divorced homes. But men who come from divorced or single-parent homes should "be a little more careful" in choosing a mate, he said. "Your divorce risk goes up [if you come from a nontraditional home], and it goes up especially high if you marry someone who also comes from a nonintact or divorced family." washingtontimes.com Joe
