Harvard Study Shows the Main Reason Wives Divorce Husbands

[offended by everything]

A Harvard study examining income, work, and marital stability suggests that 'bread-winning' remains a central component of marital contracts

“…the strongest evidence for the gendered institution perspective is that, for marriages begun in 1975 or later, divorce is more likely when husbands are not employed full-time. Consistent with my hypotheses, there is no evidence that this association is weaker for later than earlier marriage cohorts. Just as male breadwinning has remained important for marriage formation (Sweeney 2002), the results here demonstrate its enduring importance for marital stability. The results are consistent with claims that bread-winning remains a central component of the marital contract for husbands (Nock 1998).”

hmmm....
