[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Every doctor or lawyer under age 45 we know is married to another striver doctor, lawyer, consultant, or fed. JDs, MBAs, and MDs go hand in hand. A couple starter marriage divorces (0-3 years married) but over 90% are still together. Cheating definitely happens on both sides because when you both work a lot, you grow closer to colleagues and work associates, since you spend more time with them than with your spouse.[/quote]
The divorces in this group will come but will happen when they hit 55+, are not as busy, don't have kids left in the house, and realize they don't especially want to do the same things for the rest of their lives.
You'll also start to see the first-time dads who are not interested in that lifestyle shift at 35 or 40. [/quote]

No.  There are almost no divorces in medicine or big law --- 10% is the actual number for those professions.  At 55 too much to lose financially.  Big law partner living large at 55 and can see 65 and retirement with 15-20 million.  That would match current lifestyle.  Split that in half and 7.5 -10 does not buy you two houses, two country clubs, unlimited spending.  Both spouses can see that and if they have issues work through them.  [/quote]
