I don't know why everyone assumed "hard times" as referring to the marriage... I interpreted it as hard financial times, even in a good marriage.

Although it's at least implied in most vows, many people can't imagine a marriage surviving hard financial times.

Do you mean that you feel many people respond to financial problems by splitting up. Doesn't that exacerbate their financial problems, at least short term, and - if there are no other issues - dispose of many benefits in the process?
