Saving Marriages in the Recession -- Patience, Honesty, and Frugality?

It would seem that while the recession has placed strain on the U.S. Marriage, there were some key behaviors that help to keep things together. Not surprising, being honest with one another, finding a new pool of patience, and working to make the best out of challenge helped immensely.

Interestingly, Frugality played a part as well...not in buying less or spending smart given limited funds. It would seem that people postponed their split up because the cost of splitting up was too cumbersome...lawyer fees, divorce fees, etc.

It would seem that the need to be frugal...which was forced, nudged people to find common ground in their relationships.
