Divorce too costly for French

brussels - With Valentine's Day approaching, and Europe still have a sigh collection agency Intrum Justitia across Europe examined the aftermath of the financial crisis, how true love is and how many couples really only stay together because of the financial situation. A divorce would be too expensive.

The result is an eye-opener. The French are 37% at the top. Swiss apparently have an expensive lifestyle because they are second. Remarkably, do not separate the fewest people in Sweden because of the financial implications, but 6%. The Norwegians not be influenced by their pocketbooks, but 7% see money as an obstacle. This could mean that in the Nordic countries, the fire of love glows harder than in the warmer south and the earnings are so high that no matter what it costs a divorce.

With our southern neighbors 21% stays together because otherwise biting on a piece of wood, Netherlands is in the middle 15%. That we are equal with Austria, but do it slightly better than Germany and the United Kingdom.

Note also that the Italians despite the bad economy fairly scoring 14%, the 'amore' is more important than money.

'Even today relations reflect the financial situation of the Europeans,' says Guy Colpaert, director of Justice Belgium. 'We see a difference between the northern and southern countries. It is only natural that people living in countries with unstable economies are much more dependent on each other to make ends of the household together. '
