Why is marriage cheaper. "10 big reasons "

     Divorce rates have begun to decline for many smart couples. Now that is not saying it is not smart if you find yourself at the court with a lawyer for the dissolution of the union.

     Many partners are second guessing the economy and realizing that 2 can live together more cheaply than they can separately. Simple math can help us look at the reasons why this is very true.

     The pros have to out weigh the cons in a time frame when thoughts of leaving the marriage are in the birthing stages. Many activities can change the plan of self sufficiency to be an entirely different outcome. For men it might be the need to get a baby sitter if children are going to live or even visit their father. Many men have admitted the over-powering amount of work involved in cleaning, cooking, paying bills and a full time job while managing some time for self.  Women probably see how much the two managed to do together when she finds herself without that partner.

      These are not all the things that make a marriage cheaper, but it is a good start to view.

1.  There is the cost of 2 lawyers, unless one is sufficient or that the marriage can be ended with no legal counsel.

2.  The alimony and child support are 2 big money items.

3.  Two houses or residences are a part of divorce if you opt out of a marriage.

4.  Utility bills, right down to the last item make a mark of distinction.

5.  Insurance for each one affectd by the divorce will now be separate instead of joint.We are talking car, house, property and health coverage with hidden ones sometimes making a visit too.

6.  Food is a huge consideration even though it does not enter into the thought patterns for several weeks after the divorce is final. Buying in large quanities, even for 2 is cheaper than a portion for one.

7.  Baby or child care will be a  monumental amount for either or both at some point when children are involved.

8.  Counseling or therapy might be needed for the entire family since all are affected in some way.

9.  Some things do not indicate a price tag showing marriage is cheaper. The adjustment factor is dependant on how well you acclimate being in the single world once again. This can never be determined from a monetary stand point 

10. If 2 cars carried the couple through, you will still be driving. That is if agreements can be negoitiated for each to do so.
