It seems that the secret of a long-lasting marriage is out. A new research has come up with the result which states that the women who work outside the home provide more stability to their married life, in comparison to those women who don’t go out to work.
The finding will come as a much needed succour to nearly 67-million married working women in the U.S., who otherwise suffer from the guilt for not giving adequate time to their families and staying away from home for long. These findings are also significant as it reflect a bridging gender-gap, it will also support the argument for more paid maternal and paternal leave and ask for more help in childcare.
Penn State sociologist Stacy Rogers, co-author of the book, Alone Together: How Marriage in America Is Changing, said:
It’s good in so many ways, but let’s move on.
However, there are many schools of thoughts, which still believe in the theory that the higher incomes for working women encourage uncalled for divorce.
An article, in the latest Journal of Policy Analysis and Management, read:
The more recent and more convincing studies tend to show that women’s employment and earnings increase marital stability.
Is the mantra for an eternal married life finally out?
