Which description best reflects the association between a man's income and his likelihood of remarrying?

• A. Higher income men are more likely to remarry than lower-income men.
• B. Income level has no effect on remarriage rates.
• C. Low-income men remarry sooner.
• D. Most men like to 'play the field' after a divorce.

Answer: (A)

Economics matter in remarriage chances: men with higher income have more financial stability, better housing options, and stronger social support, all of which reduce the risks and costs of entering a new marriage. That greater stability makes it more feasible and attractive to form a new partnership, so higher-income men are more likely to remarry than those with lower income. While there are exceptions and other factors at play, the overall pattern shows income facilitating remarriage. The other descriptions don’t fit as well because they either ignore the impact of financial resources, suggest the opposite timing, or rely on an stereotype rather than evidence.
