Confirmation: Money Fights Predict Divorce
Monday, December 7th, 2009 at 7:54 pmWe’ve always said that money fights lead to divorce. This study indicates that at the very least, money fights predict divorce.
Here’s a quotation from an article discussing the study:
A new study, by Jeffrey Dew at Utah State University, attempts to quantify [the risk that money-related tensions lead to divorce]. His finding: Couples who reported disagreeing about finance once a week were over 30 percent more likely to get divorced than couples who reported disagreeing about finances a few times a month.
This is precisely the reason that couples need to discuss money before marriage.
