Marriage, economic impact, case studyAbstract
This paper explores the multifaceted nature of marriage, examining its intersection with psychological and economic factors crucial to understanding marital satisfaction and stability. Psychological theories, such as attachment theory and social exchange theory, offer valuable insights into the dynamics of marital relationships. Simultaneously, economic factors such as financial stability, employment, and education significantly influence marital outcomes. Integrating both psychological and economic perspectives is essential for building resilient marriages. Policy interventions, such as marriage education programs and economic support policies, play a vital role in enhancing marital stability and satisfaction. A holistic approach that incorporates these dimensions is essential for fostering healthy and enduring marital relationships.
