Why wealthy people are less likely to divorce

Why Wealthy People Are Less Likely to Divorce

Article for The Divorce Magazine

In this article, I explore why wealthier couples are statistically less likely to divorce — and how money, far from being just a source of comfort, can deeply influence relationship dynamics.

I look at the subtle ways financial security changes the pressures a couple faces, from day-to-day stress to long-term priorities. I also touch on how access to resources and support might make staying together easier — or at least, more practical.

But it isn’t all about money. In the piece, I consider what wealth really protects, and what it can’t. If you’ve ever wondered whether financial comfort truly makes relationships stronger, this article takes a closer look at why wealth might just tip the scales when it comes to lasting love — or quiet compromise.
