An expert on the psychology of marriage on how to preserve — and even strengthen — your marriage during quarantine (by EliJFinkel)
the COVID-19 outbreak may have already increased divorce rates, although it will be a while before we know about the effects on marriage and birth rates. Many have speculated that it will produce a baby boom, although others suggest that such a boom will be limited to first-time parents!
The key is to recalibrate expectations of what the relationship can realistically provide under the circumstances. By lowering unrealistic expectations, couples can keep difficulties from growing into a full-blown relationship crisis. But by holding onto certain important expectations — rather than expecting nothing at all — couples can use the forced isolation together to play to their strengths, perhaps even growing closer.
It's important to note that COVID-19 challenges can be far more serious than feeling cooped up, struggling to work from home while kids are playing underfoot, or feeling that you're doing more housework than your partner. Some couples and families face extreme stress linked to job loss, eviction, or hunger. As a society, and as individuals, we need to do everything we can to help people in these situations.
