What a fantastic book that
looks at divorce from a woman's point of view! Dr. Bond's book takes a look
at 71 individual stories of women that were divorced and looks at what they
had in common. Dr. Bond had asked women to participate in answering a divorce
questionnaire for the study via email, newspaper ads, and telephone contacts.
Dr. Bond did make a note in the introduction stating that she would like to
eventually do the same study but with divorced men.
Dr. Bond looked at the reasons why the women fell in love with their husbands,
if they were even in love with them, their childhoods, when they fell out of
love, who initiated the separation, and many other factors that are involved
in marriage.
This book was great. Dr. Bond tried to categorize the stories and told each
woman's story. At the end there were her conclusions from what she found out
and the statistics of the stories. She also included a copy of the questionnaire
that she asked the participants to fill out. A very interesting read, especially
for one that is not married! Anyone who is thinking about getting a divorce
or is already divorced, should take a look at this book and see what happened
with these marriages and then take a look at their own and see if they see themselves.
