The most common reasons given for the breakdown of marriages or live-in partnerships in Britain are communication problems and growing apart, according to analysis by UCL researchers of the latest National Survey of Sexual Attitudes and Lifestyles (Natsal-3).
[...] Natsal is the largest scientific study of sexual health lifestyles in Britain. It is carried out by UCL, the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine and NatCen Social Research [sic]
Natsal is run every 10 years, and includes a representative sample of men and women resident in Britain aged between 16 and 74. Natsal-3 was carried out between 2010 and 2012.
The study focused on the responses of 706 men and 1254 women to questions about their reasons for breakdown of a marriage or cohabiting relationship in the past 5 years.
[UCL is, of course, University College London. It has as part of one of its faculties the above-mentioned school.]

The lesson I learned is just don't trust them w/ the checkbook. The Ronald Reagan approach (trust, but verify) would've worked but I was busy w/ my business and figured she'd do what was best for the family.
The problem w/ your assessment is it's not something you notice about someone right away, especially when you get married in your 20's.
Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.

Yep, you're right about not noticing it right away, esp. when you're young. At my age, and after going through a marriage ruined largely by finances, I'm very mindful of it, and am currently dating someone that seems to be very frugal like myself. Her favorite store is Costco... and she paid for her car with cash.
