It's over, even if you manage to somehow gain the ability to change your genes and use it to get more sex partners and improoooove your personality, as long as you forget to also make yourself more fit for marriage, your genes will still screw you over and get you divorced.
Marriage and Divorce: A genetic perspective
Behavioral geneticists have found that both marriage and divorce are, in part, genetically influenced. The goal of this research was to determine the degree of shared genetic and environmental variance between the two marital statuses. Participants were 6,225 twin pairs from the Vietnam Era Twin Registry. Data were obtained on marital history, and if the individual was no longer married, how the marriage ended. Univariate analyses were performed to determine the extent of genetic and environmental influences each of the marital statues (i.e., marriage and divorce), followed by a novel bivariate analysis to test the shared variance between marriage and divorce. Results from this analysis revealed that the two different marital statuses were influenced by entirely distinct genetic and environmental factors.
Divorce, like marriage, has also been found to be highly heritable. McGue and Lykken (1992) found the proportion of genetic variance in the risk of getting a divorce was slightly greater than 50%. In addition, D’Onofrio and colleagues (2007) reported an increased risk of marital instability in offspring of divorced parents (i.e., intergenerational transmission).
Jockin and colleagues (1996) found that up to 40% of the variance in the heritability of divorce is from genetic factors that affect the personality of one spouse. Traditionalism and social potency were the most important correlates of divorce risk, as were high scores in both neuroticism and extraversion. Spotts and colleagues (2004) found that the way that spouses interact with one another stems from genetically influenced characteristics
Marriage and Divorce: A genetic perspective
An adoption study of nearly 20,000 Swedish participants in Psychological Science suggests, however, that when it comes to patterns of divorce across generations, genes may play more of a role than the kind of home you grew up in.
“If adoptees resemble their adoptive parents, we know that it’s something about being raised in a divorced household that contributes to this resemblance because adoptive parents provide only an environment (not genes) to their adopted children,” Salvatore says. “In our study, we found resemblance between adoptees and their biological parents in their histories of divorce, which suggests a genetic effect.”
Genes May Outweigh Upbringing in Family Patterns of Divorce
Although some people may be genetically predisposed to divorce, that doesn’t mean it’s written in the stars. An adoption study of nearly 20,000 Swedish participants in Psychological Science suggests, however, that when it comes to …
