Here's another reason sitting in traffic sucks: According to a new study in Sweden, if your commute takes longer than 45 minutes, you're 40% more likely to get divorced. Researchers looked at data from over 2 million people between 1995 and 2005. And during that time, the average trip to the office increased 17% from 23 minutes to 27 minutes. According to the newest U.S. census, the average commute HERE is about the same: 25 minutes. Here are three more job-related factors that predict how likely you are to get divorced:

#1.) The Guy Makes Less Money Than His Wife. According to a study at Western Washington University, couples are 38% more likely to get divorced if the wife makes more than 60% of the total income.

#2.) The Woman Doesn't Work at All. Couples stay together longer if both people work, and it's because of two main reasons:
First, they have more money, which makes paying the bills less stressful. But they also tend to feel more fulfilled because they both have careers instead of just their personal lives.

#3.) You're a Bartender, a Massage Therapist, or a Choreographer. According to a study at Radford University in Virginia, those three jobs have the highest divorce rates due to long hours and erratic schedules.

Careers with the LOWEST divorce rates include optometrists, nuclear engineers, and financial planners. Read more HERE
