'Women's work hours consistently increase divorce, whereas increases in men's work hours often have no statistical effect. "I also find that the incidence in divorce is far higher in couples where both spouses are working than in couples where only one spouse is employed," Johnson says.'

Well, duh.

If a woman isn't able to support herself independently, how can she afford to divorce? Two-career marriages give women the resources to leave if the relationship becomes unhealthy, rather than staying in a bad marriage out of sheer economic necessity.

Also, by extension, I'd bet that people in unfulfilling but not bad marriages are less likely to leave if there are children involved. Since career women are less likely to have children, they are more likely to leave a mediocre marriage.

I have no statistical evidence to back that up, but I feel as comfortable with it as with any of Mr Noer's findings.

I also liked the part where it implies that women who have contact with the outside world will divorce.

Uh, yeah.

But chaining your wife to the dining room table and not letting her meet anyone because she'll "Obviously" cheat on you is an arrestable offense. :P

On an unrelated note, I'm stealing your icon.
