Why then do over 50% of marriages end in divorce over financial issues then? You're probably right that there are some out there who don't struggle financially. But from my experience and speaking with others, they say that they weren't financially ready. But they are glad they made the decision to get married. That is all.

 

50% of marriages end, but saying that they end over financial issues is totally unfounded...and it seems your experience is limited if the only marriages you know of are financially insecure.

 

Not to get involved in this little argument, but I agree that money is a factor a lot of the time.

"Money is the one thing that people say they argue about most in
marriage, followed by children (Stanley & Markman, 1997). But, there is
a lot of reason to believe that what couples argue about is not as
important as how they argue (Markman, Stanley, & Blumberg, 1994)."

Uhh, nobody is saying money is never a factor sweetheart.

 

well then your quote of marriages that end over finances as being unfounded is not true honey bunny

 

Study's have shown that if finances weren't #1 for the divorce it was in the top 3. What experience do you have to work with? :fawk:

 

I said it was unfounded because he pulled the 50% out of his ass. Unfounded doesn't mean untrue, it means its not substantiated.

Even worse, the way he worded made it sound like all marriages end because of financial issues. Fortunately I read through his confusing rhetoric and understood what he was implying.

 

You're are killing me! :lmfao: You must have a hard time understanding english then. I will make sure I send you a draft to have you edit my reply's. :down:
