And it depends what period of time.
During the Great Recession many were staying together instead of divorcing due to unaffordability of divorce. I have not looked at long term stats, so I will defer to somebody who has analyzed that more thoroughly. In any event, I deal with many well-to-do persons who divorce, multiple times. It is sadly a fact of life in all socioeconomic groups. Parents can help their children by modeling and talking about good marital relations. No culture does an adequate enough job doing that.
Modeling is most important but talking about healthy marital relations to our children is also vital. Talk early and often about it.
