Marriage and Divorce in Belgium

Abstract

While the influence of resources on marriage dissolution has often been examined separately, little empirical research is gathered on the effect of couple-level professional, educational, and financial resources. In this article, Rogers' four-part theoretical resources framework will be used to examine the influence of professional, educational, and financial resources on the risk for marriage dissolution. Our analysis suggests that the divorce risk decreases when couples share an equal level of resources or household tasks, as stated by the role collaboration and economic partnership model. The risk for marriage dissolution decreases when the two spouses work, have comparable earnings, and share the household tasks equally.
