Translation: People are less likely to divorce if they are a) brainwashed by religion that they will go to hell for getting a divorce, b) old enough so that by the time they realize how unhappy and fucked up their marriage is, they feel they are too old to 'start over', c) afraid that divorce will cause them to lose the valuable assets they have managed to gather over the years. Lovely. That's very helpful.
