The number of adults living with an unmarried partner has increased nearly 30% in the last decade. However, estate-planning practices haven’t necessarily kept pace. In fact, it’s particularly important for unmarried couples—including same-sex unmarried couples and cohabitating couples—to organize their assets strategically via the estate-planning process, as they face unique financial challenges that are not protected by the structure of marriage.

#WilmasReview of the week Wilma🐶 attended a wedding on the beach last week - and as the picture shows, all eyes were just on her. Still, she wondered - what is the relationship between being a top public official and being in a marriage? A study by Folke and Rickne on Swedish mayors and members of the parliament shows that... ➡️ being promoted to such a top job leads to a significant increase in the likelihood of divorce for women, but not for men. ➡️ divorces seem to be concentrated in more gender-traditional couples (those with a larger spousal age gap and a more gender-skewed division of parental leave). ➡️ women in more gender-equal couples seem to be less affected. #postdog Kong Frederiks Center for Offentlig Ledelse

Our research on #ChildMarriage has been published in a peer-reviewed scientific journal -- again! This time, we examined the rates and prevalence of child marriage by state and by sex for the journal "Child Abuse & Neglect," along with McGill University researcher Alissa Koski. One of our biggest takeaways is that the fundamental drivers of child marriage reflect a devaluation of girls relative to boys. We cannot allow such devaluation to stand. Please help us raise $100k by the end of 2023 so we can help to end this human rights abuse that disproportionately affects girls in all 50 U.S. states: https://bit.ly/3FSC63U.

Wow! Empowered but cautious. Older women with assets are approaching love and marriage on their own terms. After earning financial security, why jeopardize it by tying the knot in later life? 72% of women over 50 who divorced say it damaged their finances, per a recent study. Many watched their mothers depend on husbands for income. Now they embrace self-reliance. Instead of seeking wealthy husbands, successful women want intellectual equals with shared passions. Yet some men still expect to control the money in marriage. So financially-stable women push for prenups or living separately to shield assets. Love hasn't lost allure, but marriage has. Older women desire companionship without legal and financial complexities. As gender roles shift, could we see marriage morph into more flexible partnerships focused on emotional intimacy rather than money management? What say you - are independent, affluent women wise to avoid late-life marriages that may threaten finances and autonomy? Or does marriage still offer benefits that outweigh the risks? —— Build your financial future, explore www.launchdream.com.

In a recent article, Newsweek dove into the world of traditional marriages, where women chose to leave their careers to take on more "traditional" roles caring for the home, their spouse, and their children. Newsweek interviewed me regarding how more traditional roles can impact women in a relationship, specifically from a financial perspective at divorce.
