Do you and your spouse see differently on financial matters? That could lead to divorce.
So claims a new report, which shows that only substance abuse and extramarital affairs are greater predictors of divorce than financial incompatibility. The bottom line: Feeling like your spouse is a bad money manager increased the odds of divorce by 45 percent.
