Do Daughters Cause Divorce?

Another good correlation/causation possibility:

Apparently parents of daughters are more likely to get divorced than parents with sons.  A possible explanation is that fathers of boys are more likely to stick around in an unhappy marriage, in order to be a male presence for their sons.

Read the report in Slate
