364: Marriage: Nature's Most Optimistic Mistake?

Evolutionary psychologist, Doug Lisle, PhD discusses listener questions with co-host, Nathan Gershfeld.

0:00 Teaser Clips & Intro

01:50 Q1: What factors can predict divorce?

18:20 The Love Instinct

50:14 Q2: If marriage reduces effort to earn esteem, how can a woman feel secure having kids—and is it her job to vet the man well enough not to leave?

56:44 Final thoughts

Q1: Can you speculate/attempt to predict who is most likely to get married and then divorced? My wife and I have been happily married for almost 45 years but all around us we hear of couples divorcing even after just a few years of marriage.

Q2: I appreciate your reasoning when it comes to marriage. From my recollection, you've explained that when 2 parties enter a legal contract like marriage, it now becomes more difficult to leave which can impact the effort both people put into earning esteem from one another. Psychologically, this makes sense especially when it comes to a relationship without children. However, if a couple is considering children, how else can a woman feel secure that the children & her will be provided for? Is this simply the responsibility of the woman to properly vet the male for being a decent guy who won't just abandon his family even the relationship breaks up?
