The Great Depression
The Great Depression and a drop in the divorce rate as well as birth rates.
ARE YOU TOO BROKE TO BREAK-UP? | Vikki Ziegler
The second link compares current times with the Great Depression. Back then, like the first link states, many unhappy couples stayed married, mostly because of finances. It was too expensive to divorce and support two households, similar to today.
Back in the 30's, women joined the workforce, while men couldn't find work. Many postponed divorce.
Today, many people live in a two income household. Many times, debt exceeds assets.
Many people say they stay in an unhappy, sexless marriage for the kids. Is that true or is it really a money issue? For the ones who divorce, many seem to end up living together again because of financial reasons.
Is it really money that prevents divorce and we just say we want to stay married for the kids? If both people were financially independent, would there be more divorced?
