"Last Word"-The Business of Marriage
Monday, June 08, 2009SUSIE GHARIB: And finally tonight, the economic meltdown is making for strange bedfellows in Britain or maybe we should estranged bedfellows. A new study shows the divorce rate in Britain is falling and that's because couples can't afford to set up two households. Slumping house prices are also making it tough for couples to sell their homes. So many people are opting to stay married at least until the economy turns around. And there could be another trend in the works, Paul. Lawyers say the financial meltdown could fuel pre-nuptial agreements, so money is discussed before anyone says I do.
KANGAS: Makes a marriage license look like a tax return.
GHARIB: A legal document.
KANGAS: Right.
