Furstenberg has narrowed the possibilities to two courses of action: work to improve and fix marriages now, and hope that children follow suit. Or educate children on how to deal with these problems now and hope that marriages in the future will correct themselves (Furstenberg 80). Both ideas present a possible solution, but the difficult decision becomes which path the company should choose. Stanik, McHale and Crouter believe that perhaps the company should not compromise with this decision. Their research found that in traditional marriages, an increase in the time parents spend with their children translates into a mirror increase in marital love. Maybe focusing a little more on kids and spending time together as a family might actually fix and strengthen marriages
