I will go on a tangent, but the fact that many exes lost their shirts in divorces over the last 30 years explains why marriage is largely becoming confined to the upper-middle class. Marriage is really an economic union, a way to preserve wealth. If you want to mitigate the risks, marry someone with just as much to lose as you do.
