Salon's interview of the author of the science of marriage book "For Better" makes some interesting observations about marriage, and debunks a lot of the myths about marriage, namely:

- Married couples are less likely to have sex than their single counterparts
- Fighting only makes things worse (it can actually help!)
She also says that in healthy marriages there is a 5:1 ratio of complimenting, positive things versus nagging, negative things. Sleep problems and beginning arguments with personal critiques (rather than a complaint) can be harbingers for divorce.
