That doesn't seem to happen in Canada...
- itchyouch 8y agoWouldnt the divorce rate go higher then? Since its out of convenience/benefits, once one finds a partner, they divorce and remarry.
- dleslie 8y agoOnly if you think you need to divorce to enter into another relationship. I have friends who live with new partners but are married to someone else altogether; they see the process of getting divorced as an unnecessary and expensive hassle. Really, how much of our social rituals are thus so encumbered to the primary benefit of bureaucrats and lawyers?

- Broken_Hippo 8y agoI have no facts, but I'd guess it would not. Financial dependence keeps people in bad marriages - and marrying for health care creates a sort of financial dependence.
