I've had the phenomenon explained to me like this:
The parents are the backbone of any family. The relationship that they display sets the stage for all other relationships in their children's adolescent and later adult lives. In this way, the relationship between the mother and father must be the most protected because of the bearing it has on the development of the children. If the parents fail, its starts a cycle of emotional destruction that can, if left unchecked by the conscious decision of the children and with support of close friends, reach out for many generations. That is why, in this current situation of marriages, I do not see the country surviving without a drastic movement towards keeping families together and people in control of their urges.
This was from a conversation I was having a while back with a friend of mine who is a marriage counselor, and has been for upwards of 15yrs or so.
