- NEW!

Academic comparisons of life outcomes and/or well-being between people who grew up with happy parents and people who grew up with unhappy parents suggest very strongly that it is, as one would expect, better to have happy parents. In other words, if you define "good parenting" as bringing up a child to become a happy, secure, successful adult, then the answer is a big YES. Interestingly, couples who separate tend to remain mediocre parents even after the relationship is over, which suggests that the problem might not be with the couple, but with the dispositions of the individuals in the couple.
