The only way marriages remain stable is if the female benefits more financially from associating with the man than she would on her own.
If the man loses his job, the probability of divorce increases significantly. The same effect is seen if the wife out-earns the man.
Basically, the ideal lifelong marriage is one where the man out-earns the woman significantly for most of his life. That seems like prostitution to me.
If a woman sees no financial advantage of remaining married compared to how she would live alone, she leaves. Change my view.
