Image via WikipediaIn a stunning reversal of trends, reports now indicate that more educated and more wealthy Americans are now more likely to be married, to stay married, and to have children only within marriage.
In one of the great tragic and unpredicted developments of our times, less educated Americans are now far less committed to marriage than in the recent past, and even less committed to marriage than the educated elites. Researchers explain that the “moderately educated” (high school graduates who may have some college but no baccalaureate degree) are now increasingly alienated from marriage.
