"From the &amp;quot;Look Here&amp;#039;s Another Study About Divorce&amp;quot; department, it turns out that having more than two siblings can lower your risk of divorce, as much as 2% for each additional sibling. The General Social Survey, conducted by Ohio State University was presented Tuesday at a meeting of the American Sociological Association in New York. The findings are far from definitive, but the study authors feel there may be a tie between the increased social skills that are inherent in a large family unit. In addition, people from large families tend to be more family-oriented on the whole. In my case, I come from a family with three children, but my soon-to-be-ex is the youngest of six. Guess we prove and disprove this theory all at the same time. I do know that Peter wasn&amp;#039;t much of a communicator, and that was one of the key factors in the downfall of our marriage. What do you think? Do you think being part of a big family teaches you to communicate and work through conflict better? And do you think that people from a big family unit are more &amp;quot;familY&amp;#039; oriented and willing to work harder at their marriage?
