A qualitative research was conducted with the aim of better insight into how certain occupational specifics contribute to the phenomenon of divorce. The motivation for the comparative analysis of Croatia and the United States stemmed from the growing influence of Americanization in both work and family. This research seeks to determine the connection between educational status and certain specifics of the professions within the divorce. Occupational specifics include income, working hours, location and work environment. Contained in this study are several methods of analysis which can be broken down into 4 levels. The first level refers to the comparison of data from participants' former and current partners in order to reveal the connection between actors of non/compatible occupations. The second level includes analysis of time distance to indicate the direction of changes related to occupation and marriage. At the third level, occupations are compared according to specifics divided between stable and unstable. Finally, the fourth level compares stories of specific countries, Croatia and the United States. The research offers a deeper insight into the differences between Croatia and the USA in terms of the choice and trend of occupations, along with marital trends. In terms of similarities, the stories of participants from both countries describe the adjustment of married women to their husbands' occupations and the discrimination of women in the workplace. Additionally, research reveals the effect of technology on marital stability. In the concluding pages, the final thoughts on the marriage of homogeneous and heterogeneous occupations will be presented.
