Do you agree that marriages with stay at home moms tend to divorce more?

Question

According to this divorce lawyer, the top profession for a man to avoid in a woman is a stay-at-home mom. “The most common profession that I see in the female parties in my divorces, and this is over 13 years of cases,” she says, before nervously revealing the answer, is a stay-at-home mom.”

I'd have to see the statistics, not an opinion of a man who clearly has an interest in saying it.

For starters, it makes no sense. I believe people often divorce because of the tensions in the house, the fact that they work full time and then get home and need to take care of it as well. I'd say stay-at-home mom only downside (assuming doing it is her choice and she's not pressured to it) is that it's expensive and not every guy can afford it so yes, that seems like it'd be the most avoided profession by men because men wouldn't have a reason to avoid any other profession that a woman does.

But a parent staying at home is the ideal situation for children who are actually being raised by their parents and not by institutions (we see the results of it in our society). It allows the man to focus solely on career and relax completely once he gets home or just spend time with the children because everything else is (or should be) done.

See, if globalists truly cared about women then instead of just bringing them into the workforce, would also change the working day to say 6 hours. Because while women left the home, all those tasks that are associated with it still need to be done and they are shared by two over worked people (of whom a lot work longer than just 8 hours a week). But that's not why they brought women into the workplace. They did it to get more cheap labour, something they now accomplish by bringing in poor immigrants.

If a statement is made by a legacy media organization, especially one that is so obviously partisan, there would need to be a significant amount of research into the statements made before taking them seriously. You can’t take anything that any of the three letter legacy media companies in the United States that are involved in broadcast journalism say for granted or seriously without a lot of time and effort that most people don’t have.
I would agree with the observation that SAHM families are the happiest healthiest and most well adjusted, which might explain why MSN feels the need to trash or destroy that. Strong families are the best hedge against Marxist influence, and anything that interferes with that agenda will be confronted or destroyed.

Too many people today are taught by our toxic culture to expect something in marriage and if they don't get it to act like spoil children and throw the baby out with the bath water.
Even the words and standard we hold for defining "abuse" are thrown around like children would with less and less connection to a situation that would actually be improved by the extreme actions being taken.

In a world of social media, the grass always seems greener on the other side, everyone's life always seems better. In reality it almost never is, because just like most of us they tell only the good things.

Nope, not if the man is actually a man and can provide. It's a lot harder than it used to be because people don't value family, kids and good home life as much as they value short term ego gratification these days.

The situation matters too, if a woman is home caring for kids that's productive behavior, if she's just laying around on a mans dime doing nothing that's not healthy for either party. Context matters. As for divorce lawyers, obviously they're a biased source of info on the subject.

Whatever they say and whatever research says, I do not buy it. In developing societies, the reason for increased divorces is just the contrary. Women are become independant and either they have very little tolerance for crap from controling husbands, or, they have their feminist mindset and that clashes.

In more advanced societies, perhaps reasons are not exactly the same. In my opinion, the very premise of marriage in western societies is flawed. Its a trial and error / "return if not satisied" kind of deal and it is often (if not mostly) done out of inftuation. I still respect people who decide to marry and tie the knot and commit to each other under the institution of marriage rather than those who rather openly fornicate wherever they please.

More women are stay at home moms so by that id be shocked if it wasn't true. Ie 50% of women are stay at home moms vs 1% attorneys. The slight of hand is performed by including sahms as a profession (which its not but a casual reader might accept that description which allows the logical error). Sahms would rightly be compared to the group of "all working women" not individual careers. So of course her observation is true yet completely meaningless.

most fail from lack of money or another person. If she is home she ain't meeting men and if kids at home, she is busy. More divorces are from her working and messing with male co workers or her trying to be head of house. This is the problem Working women dislike stay at home women because they are submissive to them and stay at home women think working women love job more than their kids. Working women vote for Democrats and stay at home women vote for Republicans. Stay at home women save money and working women will spend what they make to be a working woman.

That's not true. Where I live, it's all families with children and grandchildren and extended families. Families stick together. The women you talk about are ones that want to sleep around with lots of men (promiscuous) , so they don't want to be tied down.

I do not agree. I live in a state where stay at home mothers are very common and in my experience those families seem to be the happiest and healthiest marriages with the most well adjusted kids.
