That realization carries over into many other facets of life. When a married couple pools their talents, abilities, and time, they can cover each other's weaknesses. For example, when one spouse gets sick, the other can help take care of the other to help the other recover faster and get back to work faster. If that work is a paid position, the reduced time working due to sickness is minimized, resulting in increased productivity and increased wealth creation. <br /><br />Here is another example. When one spouse is weak in the administrative details of everyday life, such as mortgage payments or watching savings levels, the other spouse who may be better at those tasks can make sure to pay the mortgage and save properly. As a result, the likelihood of foreclosure is reduced. The average nationwide cost of one foreclosure is $60,000. Much of that cost falls upon private businesses and the government. The taxpayers ultimately cover the cost to the government. Reducing the number of foreclosures increases aggregate national wealth. As a result, spouses can cover the weaknesses of the other.Brandon Fnoreply@blogger.com
