Some researchers believe it may, at least if you work in the medical field. Despite previous beliefs that doctors had a higher risk for divorce, a new study is proving that theory wrong. The study found that in the medical community, doctors are less likely to get divorced compared to other health care workers. Researchers said that doctors have a lower divorce rate than other health care professionals after reviewing surveys of

There is so much work and sacrifice in those first shaky years that the business owner may need to depend on the physical and financial help of his or her spouse. And, of course, some couples choose to start a business together from the very beginning. When business is good and the marriage is healthy, owning a business with your spouse (or with an investment from your spouse) can be a dream. If the

You meet the person you want to spend your life with, you buy a home together and you start a family. Unfortunately, we all know that this isn’t always how things turn out.

In too many instances, one spouse in a marriage begins planning the divorce in complete secrecy, only “dropping the bomb” when they have finished making their own preparations. According to divorce financial planner Lili A. Vasileff, certain changes in your spouse’s financial behavior and attitudes could be signs that he or she is secretly planning for divorce.

If you have plans to get a divorce, the answer is obviously “yes.” But if you don’t, you may still feel uneasy about the marriage without knowing why. Your spouse’s behaviors and attitudes seem to be changing, but to what end? In cases where one spouse initiates the divorce rather suddenly, the other spouse is often left feeling blindsided. In hindsight, however, they are able to interpret signs they had previously overlooked or dismissed. The telltale signs can be behavioral, emotional, financial or some combination of

There is even an entire catalogue of relationship self-help books based on the premise that men and women are fundamentally different. These stereotypes and generalizations usually contain at least a kernel of truth but cannot be considered universally accurate. That being said, the results of a recent study suggest that there is some truth to certain gender stereotypes about caregiving. The study examined how one spouse’s long-term illness affected the divorce risk of couples ages
