Gains to Marriage, Relative Resources, and Divorce Initiation

The really interesting thing about this study wasn't just that wives initiate more divorces, most people already knew that.

The real meat I found interesting was near the end when they stated that wives who reported they were better off divorced increased the chances of filing by about the same as men (10% or so).

However, women were twice as likely to file if they reported the marriage as 'troubled' and 4 times more likely if they reported the marriage as 'unhappy'. Men however were not statistically different than baseline in these situations.

Maybe I'm just reading it wrong but how it reads to me was it suggests Men are much more likely to take the vows seriously where women are fair weather partners. Choppy seas ahead means he preps for the storm and she abandons ship.

I'll summarize, "women initiate the majority of divorces".

There are no gains in marriage for a man. Only losses.
