The purpose of this paper was to examine the effects of economic well-being on marital stability using longitudinal data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Labor Market Experience. The sample was 1,349 married females who were interviewed annually over a five year period. The data indicated that income by itself had little effect on marital dissolution. The level of assets had a rather substantial effect on marital breakup even after other relevant variables were controlled. It was also found that the dissolution rate was considerably higher for blacks than whites and the marital dissolution decreased as level of education increased. These data suggest that direct income supplements may have little effect on marital dissolution unless they increase the level of family assets
