The psychologist John Gottman found via research the best predictor for divorce was displaying open contempt to each other; the most visible signal of which is the eye roll. He had something like a 90%+ correct prediction rate for divorce from reviewing couples.

I joke around and am not Catholic, but I genuinely asked that question of a Catholic friend - do you think we'll see excommunications. Gradual escalation in the level of condemnation coming from various churches of various faiths.
