The famous musical advice:

Ex-husband: Oh yeah, that too. I was going to say “because it’s worth it”.
I agree that the “negative” finding can actually be quite a liberating one. However, I have a suspicion that people see it as negative because they don’t like having the fact that a lot of marriages persist for logistical reasons be as salient as this finding makes it.
