   Unhappily married couples often get lots of advice and a report released recently offered some more: don't divorce, stick it out. Researchers from the University of Chicago and other schools concluded that the couples who avoided divorcing despite an unhappy marriage ended up just as happy five years later as those who had split up. Interviews with a subset of the 5,232 married adults surveyed in the 1980s and again five years later found those who found happiness discovered the sources of conflict such as money, depression, and even infidelity eased with time. Others reported they got better at getting along, sometimes enlisting help from relatives or counselors ? or by threatening divorce. Others found ways to be happier individually in spite of their mediocre marriages. But divorce sets in motion events over which an individual has little control, such as the reactions of spouses and children, as well as the uncertainty of new relationships. "Staying married is not just for the children's sake. Some divorce is necessary, but results like these suggest the benefits of divorce have been oversold," said University of Chicago sociologist Linda Waite, lead author of the report.

维持婚姻不仅是为了孩子着想。一些离婚是必须的，但是离婚可能带来的好处被过分夸大了

还继续着婚姻不仅仅是为了孩子的缘故。有些离婚还是必要的，不过结果就像这些建议一样，离婚的利益已经被出卖了。

oversold是oversell的过去分词，在这里有过分吹嘘、过分夸大的意思。
