Historically, marriage was the surest route to financial security for women. Nowadays it's men who are increasingly getting the biggest economic boost from tying the knot, according to a new analysis of census data.

The changes, summarized in a Pew Research Center report being released, reflect the proliferation of working wives over the past 40 years - a period in which American women outpaced men in both education and earnings growth. A larger share of today's men, compared with their 1970 counterparts, are married to women whose education and income exceed their own, and a larger share of women are married to men with less education and income.

"From an economic perspective, these trends have contributed to a gender role reversal in the gains from marriage," wrote the report's authors, Richard Fry and D'Vera Cohn.

So. Men provided the money and women did all the work.
Now women provide the money and do all the work?

Can see a few bachelor women trends emerging........

But if thats all it is , the greedy huas should go earn it themselves rather then be a parasite.

They will probably just pay for someone else to do all the work.

Sadly, marriage isn't the lifelong commitment that it used to be years ago, but don't run away with the idea that living with someone is an easier option. Splitting up after three years means that each partner can make a claim on the other's assets just as they can if they were married.
