                    It's simply common sense that the nicer a life you have if you don't work, the more people will choose not to work and the pickier they will be about what job they might be willing to accept.

                    Many religious leaders and, more sporadically, the government have tried for a long time to stem the tide of divorce, without any success.  Maybe it's time to let private industry, and the Invisible Hand, have a go at it.
