The Marriage Myth That's Holding Us Hostage
Imagine discovering that everything you've been told about marriage and divorce is based on cultural dogma rather than evidence. This is precisely what "Sacred Cows" reveals with scientific precision and compassion. The book has developed a devoted following among therapists, relationship coaches, and even influenced Gwyneth Paltrow's "conscious uncoupling" philosophy. What makes this work particularly compelling is the authors' unique qualifications - both accomplished scientists who have experienced divorce firsthand. Their approach combines analytical thinking with deep empathy, challenging our narratives about marriage at a time when nearly half of marriages end in divorce, yet we still stigmatize those who leave unhappy unions. Our culture equates divorce with failure, applying this label not just to marriages but to the people themselves. Despite divorce becoming more socially acceptable over decades, the stigma may actually be increasing among educated Americans. As sociologist Laurie Essig notes, among the affluent, divorce has become "a source of shame, a mark of failure, a sign that you just aren't working hard enough." When we examine marriage vows, most contain promises of eternal love and faithfulness. But what does it mean to promise that feelings will never change? No one would sign a job contract promising eternal enthusiasm regardless of how the position evolves. Yet in marriage, we promise perpetual feelings despite experience teaching us that emotions inevitably shift.
