Materialism May Diminish Marital Satisfaction
By Rick Nauert PhD
 
Emerging research provides insight on how an obsession with materialism can doom a marriage. Investigators discovered a focus on expanding material possessions leads to a deemphasizes of other aspects of life, such as the importance of a marriage.

Dr. Jason Carroll, a Brigham Young University professor of marriage and family studies, said, “We know that materialism can lead to poor money management and that leads to debt and strain, but financial factors may not be the only issue at play in these situations.”
