Does "divorce season" really exist? According to a 2016 study from the University of Washington, divorce season exists and is very real.
The data shows that there is a seasonal peak when couples divorce and this happens most often during two months of the year: March and April.
The research was drawn up by pedagogue Julie Brines and details emerged that from the period of March to August, couples are more inclined to file for divorce, especially after the holidays.
Brines Pedagogy found that married people "go on vacation as a couple with high expectations as they consider this time as a cycle of optimism and regeneration for the relationship itself." Data from the University of Washington shows that people are reluctant to file for divorce during the holidays because they consider them holy days, but once the holidays are over, beware.
This optimism takes a turn!
Divorce registrations peak right after the holidays, but there is a gap between the New Year period and March. Pedagogy points out that couples who have decided to separate after the "New Year" still have to weigh the financial part, find lawyers and deal with the fact that they just spent the last Christmas together. In other words: the months of March and April are the periods when couples make the decision to separate according to experts, but these two months are not the only ones. The propensity for divorce also occurs after the holiday season, when couples take their time and give the relationship another chance before the final blow.
What does the data show?
Vacations can be deadly for a relationship. We go on vacation with high expectations. "These holidays will be unforgettable!" "This Christmas is going to be fantastic."
Once the happy days are over, you are left with the sad reality that hides behind the joy of holidays or beautiful moments.
So if your marriage has survived August this year, you're good. Keep your eyes peeled out there from Mars...
