V. Read and translate the newspaper article A Marriage that Matures will Double Your Money and comment on the ways of translating the grammatical categories it contains.
MARRIAGE can make you wealthy – as long as you stay together and never get divorced.
A study of 9, 055 people in America, tracked since they were teenagers in 1979, has found that those who married and stayed married accumulated almost twice the personal wealth of their single peers.
The big threat to married people was divorce. On average, splitting up cost married people more than three-quarters of their net worth.
“Becoming married and staying married really do increase your wealth”, Jay Zagorsky, the author of the study, said yesterday. “But I would not marry with the idea of getting rich. I think that is a terrible idea because if you get dissatisfied with your marriage, divorce will destroy your wealth”.
Ohio State University’s Centre for Human Resource Research collected the data from the subjects, now in their forties, by interviewing them every other year over more than a quarter of a century.
The study, published in the current issue of the Journal of Sociology, defined wealth as the total value of a person’s assets, such as property, stocks and bank accounts, minus their liabilities, such as mortgages.
Married participants were found to be 93 per cent richer than the singles in the group.
“There seems to be a dramatic reduction in spending when people get married”, Mr Zagorsky said. “It’s just cheaper for two people to live than one”.
But a failed marriage cancels out this “wealth effect”. Divorced participants saw their wealth drop so heavily that they ended up 77 per cent poorer than single people.
The survey found that personal net worth began to decline four years before a divorce took place.
“The paper shows divorces hurt people four years ahead of time”, Mr Zagorsky said. “I think some of these people are separating. Some of these people are disillusioned with the marriage and there is an impact from that”.
The research did not separate out the effects of having children or of remarriage.
Divorced men did better than divorced women, on average they had about 2⅓ times as much wealth. But in absolute terms, the difference amounted to only $5, 124 (£ 2, 900).
“Men do fare a little bit better in percentage terms, but absolutely there is not a big difference between men and women”, Mr Zagorsky said. “In absolute terms, becoming divorced really hurts both men and women”.
The study has implications for public policy in countries such as Britain, which in 2001 recorded the lowest number of marriages since 1897.
