That's not a linear relationship that one can extrapolate indefinitely. These days, we're also seeing an increase in so-termed "grey" divorces (divorces for individuals aged 60+ or near/past retirement) among those same individuals. Your prescription may lengthen a marriage but it's not going to prevent a divorce. Instead, it is more economically sound to obtain a divorce at one's earliest financial low points than, despite efforts to the contrary, being served one at his/her most financially stable,but most emotionally and physically exhausted. The family courts incentivize robbing Peter to to pay Paulina. Peter's solution is to minimize ownership and financial security as much as possible when the Day of the Shakedown occurs or to make it so that Paulina suffers a greater economic loss in his place place..
