This study investigates the effects of income and assets on marital stability. The results show that total family assets, expected family income, and ethnic status significantly influence marital instability. For older couples, assets appear more important; whereas, expected family income had somewhat greater affect among younger couples. Being black and having few assets and a low expected income increased marital instability approximately six times.
