Women seem to adjust better to divorce than men because

A) they tend to receive custody of the children.
B) they focus on building and maintaining networks of supportive friends and family.
C) they typically receive spousal support.
D) they only have to do housework for themselves again.

Research has shown that women tend to cope better with divorce than men because they focus on building social support networks of friends and family. They often prioritize relationships and prioritize seeking support from their loved ones. This helps them through the emotional stress and hardships of divorce. While custody and spousal support may also play a role, it is the social support factor that has been consistently found to have the biggest impact on post-divorce adjustment. Option D, about the reduced housework, is not a significant factor in post-divorce adjustment for women.
