Couples at greater risk of breakup after pregnancy loss

Ask anyone who's tried it: Sustaining a marriage or long-term relationship is hard. More than 40 percent of first marriages and nearly 70 percent of first live-in relationships fail to reach the 15-year mark, statistics show.

Adding in the trauma of a miscarriage or stillbirth can make it even harder to stay together, a new study suggests. Though it's true that such tragedies can bring some couples closer together, the experience appears to increase the overall risk of divorce or separation -- an effect that can last for years after the pregnancy loss.
