[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe this is related so bear with me:

Back in grad school, I would watch this show called Love Connection (1980s). This is what I observed:

- when the couple was Afro-American, they almost always decided to go on a second date.

- when the couple was working class, about 75% of the time they would go on a second date

- when the couple was Larry the Lawyer and Mary the Marketing MBA, they almost never picked each other for a second date.

Simple, the higher the education, the higher the expectations. The more divorces, though that 90% seems way too high.[/quote]

[b]There are not less marriages and more divorces with college educated people.[/b] This was discussed already with stats to show it. More college women are marrying than non college women. More college women are staying married than non college women. Of those that get divorced which is a smaller group than the non college educated women, 90 percent of the filings are by women. So when these women divorce they are doing so to protect their assets and they have the means to pay. That’s all this statistic is saying[/quote]

But blue collar men & women aren’t marrying, by and large. Upper middle & upper class men and women are marrying one another.[/quote]

But even in those marriages more college educated are staying together so college helps you in various ways get married and stay married compared to others. If you divorce the woman might decide to file because she has the means to. [/quote]
