THE SOCIOECONOMIC BENEFITS OF LOVE: AN ANALYSIS OF MARITAL UNIONS BETWEEN ECONOMISTS

Abstract

This research investigates the socioeconomic implications of marital unions between economists, with a focus on financial decision-making, wealth accumulation, work-life balance, and economic conflicts. Using a quantitative methodology, data were collected from 100 participants (50 economist couples) through structured questionnaires. The results indicate that economist couples experience significant benefits in terms of financial management, with 88% engaging in joint decision-making and 84% reporting substantial wealth accumulation. However, challenges related to work-life balance were reported by 54% of couples. Economic conflicts, though present in 22% of the sample, were largely resolved through communication and compromise. Our findings highlight the advantages of shared economic expertise in marriage, contributing to overall financial success and stability.
