Brangelina: Why celebs don’t have it all

Its probably the most common rebuttal I hear when I mention how married couples tend to do so much better than unmarried couples.

“It’s not marriage, its money.”

There’s an element of truth to this. Money makes it easier for couples to stay together.

More money means not having to negotiate with your loved one every time you buy something and not having a potential argument when you didn’t tell them first. Money cushions families from the harder side of life. If you’re going through an unhappy phase, you just might put up with difficulties a little longer if you’re physically more comfortable. Better off couples have more resources to survive the tough times and come out the other side.
