After a divorce, women experience less stress and are better adjusted than men.

Some of the reasons for this are:

1.  Women are more likely to be aware  that  marital problems exist and are relieved when the pressure of the problems are gone;

2.   Women are more likely than men to get emotional support;

3.  Women are more likely to feel an increase in self-esteem when the divorce is over and they move on with their lives.
