Hurricane Sandy touched many lives and destroyed a lot of homes in the United States, but some people say it will affect future marriages too. There have been studies on the effects of natural disasters on marriages and birthrates in the past, so could be possible to predict how Sandy affects these things by looking at past disasters. Slate reported a story about the situation and a possible future.

Catherine Cohan and Steve Cole found that a year after the hurricane, the marriage rate was higher than past years, and a year after that it returned to declining rates like before the disaster. This is especially true for the areas that were hit hard.

Kimberly Buffington-Quaid has filed for legal separation, and according to the Los Angeles Times, a divorce is on its way.

You often hear about a variety of things being the cause for marital problems or divorce, and what follows is another view on the matter. In the hottest hours of the presidential election, political views are on the surface among friends, coworkers, and especially family. A blogger touched the issue on a post in Huffington Post Divorce.

According to the blog, a Match.com poll found that 57 percent would marry a person whose political views differ considerably from theirs. Different views are clearly not stopping people from getting married, but they could be causing friction when people are already married.

Right now presidential candidates Romney and Obama are side by side, with only moments to the final showdown. Even if spouses' political views are not on the table most of the time, a situation like this can cause a lot of disputes. When the stakes run high, so do emotions, and this can lead to an argument with serious consequences.
