    The rate has already started to rise. The bad thing is that when people rich the age around forty they all seem to have troubles anyway. The economy is really going to make it worse. Men have a very hard time dealing with the stress of having no money and they feel very responsible to support their family so it really messes with the family life.

    It is having the opposite affect . . . if you must sell the house do to the fact that the mortgage is in both names . . . well if could take a couple of years to sell not to mention the fact they will have little/no equity from it or even end up owing on the home if they purchased it over the last few years. I think if it is financially difficult for a couple to split outside of declaring bankruptcy, they may stay together until the housing market rebounds.

    Last time I heard couples were sticking out because of the downturn in the economy and it makes sense. Loss of jobs, homes, etc makes it necessary to have two incomes versus one if you be so lucky.
