    Just to flip the perspective a bit on the whole military divorce rate thing: There’s also a huge incentive to get married in the first place. Getting married gets you Basic Allowance for Housing which is a monthly stipend for the average cost of living in your zip code. This is a couple thousand bucks a month just for getting a marriage certificate.

    You also get to bring your spouse with you to other duty stations when you inevitably have to move.
