The economic approach to marital instability focuses on the effects of male and female earning ability on the demand for divorce. In this paper, the authors present an empirical exploration of the determinants of marital dissolution that begins with variables found in economic models, but also incorporates one noneconomic factor, religion. The results of their investigation show that the quality and relevance of economists' insights, with respect to divorce, can be improved by paying more attention to the effects of such noneconomic factors as religion, which appear to play an important role both directly and indirectly.
