the only emotion that predicts divorce better than any fight ever could
means A feeling that someone or something is beneath consideration — worthless, deserving of scorn rather than mere dislike.
from From Latin contemptus, the noun built on contemnere, "to scorn, despise, slight" — formed from con- (an intensifying prefix) plus temnere, "to slight or despise." The sense is right there in the bones: to hold someone temnere with a little extra force. It arrived in English through the legal and religious Latin of the later Middle Ages — which is why we still speak of "contempt of court," a phrase that preserves the original flavor of treating something with willful disregard.
