I think this largely explains why the divorce rate is higher today than, say, 60 years ago. It’s not that people were happier then, or more determined to work through their problems. It’s because back then, they couldn’t afford to live separately. Over the years more people (especially women) became able to support themselves and therefore were less motivated to stay in an unhappy marriage. But even now, some people feel tremendous, prohibitive financial pain when separating, so it’s easier to stay together, just like the people in this article. What do you think?
