Many people want a lavish wedding but are unable to afford it so would rather cohabit. Married men were more likely to be employed than cohabiting couples and earning 10-20% more. There may be a correlation between unmarried parents and children doing worse in school. Working-class men and women were less likely to marry. 1970 -> marriage, husband, children. 1990 -> careers, being able to support themselves. Divorce is a reaction that many wives feel from having to do the ‘triple shift’. arranged marriages tend to grow more stable over time while love marriages are more likely to deteriorate. Rising divorce rates are due to growing individualisation. Social policies such as the Child Support Agency encourages lone-parenthood which damages marriage.
