Which Careers Lead To Fewer Cases Of Divorce?

Not all marriages last forever. When you think of divorce, you know there may be many factors involved. Sometimes finances and infidelity are the reasons. Maybe there is substance abuse or addiction at play. Perhaps you and your spouse just don’t communicate well anymore and fight over everything, from what to cook for dinner to how to raise the kids. Over time, your spouse may just drive you nuts.
