It’s A Boy Thing

Dr Johnben Loy, US-Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist

It’s A Boy Thing

A recent article in The Economist’s 1843 Magazine shared data that suggests that couples who have sons are more likely to stay together than those that don’t. Apparently, sons may nudge some fathers to take on more responsibility, while daughters may make it easier for mothers to ditch disappointing husbands. US-Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Dr Johnben Loy analyses the data and explains what it means to marriage, family and parenting.
