Divorce and The Economy

Here's another thing the economy has affected...and something I didn't think of right off...

The recession and economic turmoil is creating a new class of casualties: Married couples who can't afford to get divorced. In these tough times many people are finding it's cheaper to stay together, even when they can't stand each other.

Middle-income brackets are most affected by the changes in the economy and a major factor in divorce is that divorcing couples have to establish two separate households with current funds -- a prohibitive factor when you're looking at divorce in tough economic times.

So, I guess the new catch phrase should be: Till death or the end of a recession...do we part.
