According to the American Psychological Association, approximately 40-50% of first marriages end in divorce.
So, I found it very interesting that the divorce rate for the self-made millionaires in my Rich Habits Study was only 19%, or less than half the national average. Why were the self-made millionaires in my Study able to defy the odds of divorce?

Finding a life partner who shares your work ethic, financial goals and life plan is crucial to success. When both spouses are on the same page, pulling the same cart together, realizing dreams, goals and the life you desire becomes attainable.
Success is a process. A big part of that process is who you surround yourself with. Make sure you surround yourself with individuals who have success traits that mirror yours.
