Staying married is a great way to increase your wealth.
Couples who stay married through thick and thin accumulate twice as much personal wealth as people who get divorced or remain single, a new study reveals.
One of the key reasons folks who stay together see their assets grow is that one household is cheaper to maintain than two.
The study by researchers at Ohio State University tracked the personal and marital status of 9055 people from 1985 to 2000.
