Juanita and Juan visit a marriage counselor because they are contemplating divorce. Although the couple started out blissfully in love, they are not getting along well, especially since their children reached their teens. Based ONLY on the U-shaped curve ofmarital satisfaction, what should the therapist advise?

A)"Hold off on divorcing. You are apt to reconnect with each other at the empty nest."

B)"If you are not happy now, you'll feel worse after the children leave."

C)"Expect to feel exactly the same way about each other after the children leave."

D)"There is no research that addresses this issue."

The correct answer to the question is option A

HOLD OFF ON DIVORCING.YOU ARE APT TO RECONNECT WITH EACH OTHER AT THE EMPTY NEST.

Explanation: The U-shaped curve of marital satisfaction simply explains that there is always maximum happiness and marital satisfaction in the beginning of marriage or any relationship, however,this happiness and fulfilment isn't long-lived,the happiness declines with age due to overwhelming parental duties and obligation.but the good this out of it is that the declining marital happiness and fulfillment will definitely rise again if the relationship or marriage stand the rest of time through mutual understanding and appropriate/adequate communication and love.

So in a nutshell,we can say that marriages are happiest during the period of honeymoon that is few months following weddings if there is, then this happiness declines but further rises at the empty next.

it also supports my hypothesis. if you rest first you can squeeze the clothespin more times. from the data i collected the average of the eight people concluded exercise makes your muscles more fatigued and less able to squeeze the clothespin compared to resting before squeezing.
