Money the glue that helps bond relationships

Mother-of-five Helena Joyce says financial security is an important factor in maintaining a healthy marriage.

Commenting on the report that a healthy economy is easing relationship strains, she said: "If things are good economically, then it definitely helps a marriage," the 35-year-old, full-time mother said yesterday.

The findings of the study surprised her. "I know lots of people who are getting divorced ... but maybe people are more educated now and there's more help available to couples such as counsellors if their marriage is in trouble."

She said the biggest strain on young couples was when the children were small and finances were tight.

"If you can make it through that time, you can make it through anything."
