For most couples, although not all, separation and divorce eventually lead to more positive life experiences and outcomes, even so for all couples marriage breakdown has significant social, emotional and financial consequences (at least in the short term). Billions of dollars in direct (i.e. social security, family court system) and indirect costs (i.e. ill health, absenteeism) are incurred by the Australian community each year due to marriage breakdown. This research will help us to understand why some marriages breakdown while others remain intact, and in doing so, will add to the evidence base that informs policies concerning marriage and divorce.

对于大多数夫妇来说，分居和离婚最终会带来更积极的生活经历和结果，即使对所有夫妇来说，婚姻破裂也会产生重大的社会、情感和经济后果(至少在短期内是这样)。澳大利亚社区每年因婚姻破裂而产生数十亿美元的直接费用(如社会保障、家庭法院系统)和间接费用(如健康欠佳、旷工)。这项研究将帮助我们理解为什么一些婚姻破裂，而另一些婚姻完好无损，这样做将增加证据基础，为有关婚姻和离婚的政策提供信息。
