Divorce wasn't common in that day.

  • Pious Christians frowned on divorce.

  • The divorced were almost a social outcasts.

  • The family stayed together 'for the children'.

  • Blood is thicker than water.

  • With few woman working, the wife relied on the husband for income.

mostly money

I think the family stayed together because they had to. Times were tough for a mining family. They only gained a level of financial security when the children were grown.
