Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to Erikson's theory of psychosocial development, individuals need to establish a personal sense of stability and identity before they can form successful, lasting relationships. If David has no real sense of direction for his life, it is likely that he has not yet developed a strong sense of identity. Therefore, his marriage may be at risk for ending in divorce if he cannot find personal stability and a clear direction for his life. Option A is less likely since marriage alone does not necessarily provide direction, and option B may not be applicable if David has not yet established a strong identity to fuse with his partner's.
