Lots of data, graphs, and interesting thinking, but what sticks out the most:
881 words about "What makes for a stable marriage" and not one of them is "love".
This piece demonstrates two of the most common memes that continue to perpetuate hn:
1. correlation != causation
2. academia != real life
I wonder if OP is married and how the joys and challenges of maintaining a stable marriage for many years would have affected this post.
