Financial Crisis Leads to Reduction in Divorces
Marketwatch.com reports that divorces are down as a result of the financial crisis. Apparently, couples who are having a rough time making it on two incomes are not finding it possible to split up and each fund a new household on one income.
Since it's commonly quoted that money issues are the #1 cause of divorce, it's not difficult to see why financial issues would be that much more difficult after a divorce. In fact, divorce is often the most difficult on the single mother, who often has custody of the couple's children and must try to work to earn a living as well.
Since the Bible states that God hates divorce (Malachi 2:16), maybe there is a small silver lining in the current financial situation. Perhaps some couples will stay together long enough to work things out. A few potential helpful resources include : The Love Dare, Love & Respect, His Needs, Her Needs, The Five Love Languages, and Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus.
