A Longitudinal Comparison of Consumption and Finance Handling Between Happily Married and Divorced Couples.

Schaninger, Charles M.; Buss, W. Christian

Journal of Marriage and the Family, v48 n1 p129-36 Feb 1986

Examines hypothesized consumption and finance-handling differences between couples who subsequently become divorced or remained happily married. Happily married couples were found to practice role specialization, with greater influence of the wife and less husband dominance in family finance handling, and greater joint and wife influence in decision making.
