In short: Family law professor Jeannie Suk Gersen argues that understanding the mechanics of divorce provides a roadmap for a healthier marriage. By examining why unions fail, couples can identify the pitfalls to avoid and build a more resilient partnership from day one.

The presentation explores how viewing marital decisions through the lens of divorce serves as a proactive tool for navigating togetherness.
