Over at Democracy and America, there is a critique about the marriage and happiness article in New York Magazine. The critique is well worth the read.
While I have a few more thoughts on the issue, especially concerning the definitions of the terms, the role of agency in parenting and marriage, and the notion of identity, I will try to work on a longer post tomorrow when I am not teaching and only writing.

Well Here is Something to Contemplate
From the New York Magazine: Why Parents Hate Parenting, or, "I Love My Children but Hate My Life."
I am just reading through the article now but it discusses a lot of frustrations with being a parent, especially the diminishing returns. There is not much hope two pages in to the article.
