Kass says that children of divorce “have had no successful models to imitate” (229) and in fact “enter into relationships guardedly and tentatively” (230). Children of divorce enter a relationship looking for red flags up front and when things get difficult they never had anything in which to compare their situation. “When the going gets tough, the tough gets going;”…LITERALLY!

In the 1950s’ Rogers called his approach client-centred and later in the1960s person-centred-therapy because of its focus on the client's individual view of the world and their needs were put at the centre.
It was like they were confined to the vicinity of their home. Some wives were unable to get well-paying jobs and when they did get a job they were not treated equal to men.

First, the higher risk of divorce and less satisfactory adjustments in marriage. Cohabiters who do marry are more at risk for subsequent divorce than those who did not cohabit before marriage. In the United States the risk of divorce is 50 percent higher for cohabiters than for non-cohabiters. The divorce rate is even higher with previously married cohabiters and serial cohabiters (those who have had several cohabiting experiences).
