50 years ago, when a women's place was in the home to cook, clean and make babies, the divorce rate was much lower than today.
The same goes when the man is overseas.

You've never been in military, have you?
When their husband leaves for extended period of times, the woman is in charge - and does everything from taking care of the children alone, maintaining the cars, the house, and paying the bills.
When a unit goes out on deployment it's party time for their wives. Perhaps not for all wives, but some wives would have a rather active social life while their husband was gone in the bars and clubs. When the husband returned, the wife would drop off of the map until the next time the husband left. I thought it was horrible myself.
