In remarriage research, which income pattern is associated with a higher likelihood of men remarrying?

• A. No, income level has no effect on remarriage rates.
• B. Yes, higher income men are more likely to remarry than lower-income men.
• C. Yes, low-income men remarry sooner.
• D. No, most men like to 'play the field' after a divorce.

Answer: (B)

Economic resources shape how likely men are to remarry. Higher income signals financial stability and an easier path to forming a new household, which makes remarriage more feasible and attractive to potential partners. Research consistently shows that men with higher earnings have higher remarriage rates than those with lower earnings. The idea that income has no effect isn’t supported by the data, and the notion that low-income men remarry sooner or that men just “play the field” isn’t an evidence-based pattern for remarriage likelihood.
