There's an interesting book on how American marriages are changing and it's putting so much goddamn pressure on your spouse. Alone Together: How Marriage in America Is Changing Most observers agree that marriage in America has been changing. Some think it is in decline, that the growth of individualism has made it increasingly difficult to achieve satisfying and stable relationships. Others believe that changes, such as increasing gender equality, have made marriage a better arrangement for men as well as women. Based on two studies of marital quality in America twenty years apart, this book takes a middle view, showing that while the divorce rate has leveled off, spouses are spending less time together―people may be “bowling alone” these days, but married couples are also eating alone. Indeed, the declining social capital of married couples―including the fact that couples have fewer shared friends―combined with the general erosion of community ties in American society has had pervasive, negative effects on marital quality. At the same time, family income has increased, decision-making equality between husbands and wives is greater, marital conflict and violence have declined, and the norm of lifelong marriage enjoys greater support than ever. The authors conclude that marriage is an adaptable institution, and in accommodating the vast changes that have occurred in society over the recent past, it has become a less cohesive, yet less confining arrangement. The best regarded book on the current economics of marriage, Marriage Markets: How Inequality is Remaking the American Family, will probably not shock you in explaining why marriage is declining, why commitment seems more difficult, and why marriages become unstable. Would it shock you to know every single thing that's been blamed on African American "culture" or "values" is entirely the result of material conditions? As people get poorer and risk of male unemployment, incarceration or inability/unwillingness (charitably, to take on the economic hardship) to provide for children increases, women decide it's a big gamble. In every single survey back to the 50's African Americans expressed a desire to be in long-term, stable, committed, married relationships, but their families were annihilated by what amounts to economic warfare. Well, obviously this poverty has spread, and so the social behaviour now applies to many poor whites as well. In the 90's I guess the right described this in really vile racist terms, but it's become increasingly hard for them to explain away. Even people who are socially conservative, religious, whatever, can't sustain marriages when things are this bad. As of the Great Recession, marriage instability began to spread to the bottom part of the white middle class. Who has lasting, loving, marriages? Marriage is tied pretty much 1:1 with professional attainment and income. That's the real reason people marry and have children later. It's so loving obvious in hindsight, but I guess a lot of energy goes into obscuring this. Anyway, PMC people get married, enjoy being married, had satisfying dating lives prior to being married, have stable cohabitation patterns even back to their early-mid 20's. However, all of the issues in the first book apply to them, as highly educated professionals don't have a work life balance, and people in those knowledge economy jobs still have increasingly miserable, grinding lives with only their spouse to keep them company. The reason affairs seem like "self-care", which I agree is disgusting, does have a basis in their material conditions. They're not reprehensible people in a vacuum, they're just not able to sustain marriages in an atomizing environment, where all capitalism can offer you is a good time, and that includes gratification without messy intimacy and everything else that comes with marriage. People want an escape from life, that means an escape from married life. Capitalism is doing these things. Anyway, interesting book. There was a time when the phrase "American family" conjured up a single, specific image: a breadwinner dad, a homemaker mom, and their 2.5 kids living comfortable lives in a middle-class suburb. Today, that image has been shattered, due in part to skyrocketing divorce rates, single parenthood, and increased out-of-wedlock births. But whether it is conservatives bewailing the wages of moral decline and women's liberation, or progressives celebrating the result of women's greater freedom and changing sexual mores, most Americans fail to identify the root factor driving the changes: economic inequality that is remaking the American family along class lines. In Marriage Markets, June Carbone and Naomi Cahn examine how macroeconomic forces are transforming our most intimate and important spheres, and how working class and lower income families have paid the highest price. Just like health, education, and seemingly every other advantage in life, a stable two-parent home has become a luxury that only the well-off can afford. The best educated and most prosperous have the most stable families, while working class families have seen the greatest increase in relationship instability. Why is this so? The book provides the answer: greater economic inequality has profoundly changed marriage markets, the way men and women match up when they search for a life partner. It has produced a larger group of high-income men than women; written off the men at the bottom because of chronic unemployment, incarceration, and substance abuse; and left a larger group of women with a smaller group of comparable men in the middle. The failure to see marriage as a market affected by supply and demand has obscured any meaningful analysis of the way that societal changes influence culture. Only policies that redress the balance between men and women through greater access to education, stable employment, and opportunities for social mobility can produce a culture that encourages commitment and investment in family life. A rigorous and enlightening account of why American families have changed so much in recent decades, Marriage Markets cuts through the ideological and moralistic rhetoric that drives our current debate. It offers critically needed solutions for a problem that will haunt America for generations to come.
