The stress of a major renovation and a new home build are significant,I have friends both with 30 years of marriage divorced after it was all over.Both contractors asked them "ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO DO THIS" !!! My buddy on the reno lived with me for a year rent free as he couldn't afford to put gas in his car until his ex finally decided she had to sell the house before the divorce out of which they basically got NOTHING..
