How can symbolic interactionism help you to be optimistic about the chances of your own marriage succeeding despite the divorce statistics?
What will be an ideal response?
You are an individual, not a statistic.Divorce statistics represent all marriages, and have absolutely nothing to do with any particular marriage.From a symbolic interactionist perspective, we create our own worlds.Our experiences do not come with built-in meanings.We can create a self-fulfilling prophecy, so it helps to have a vision that a good marriage is possible.It also helps to believe that it is worth the effort to work things out.
