The new economics of marriage
 The Pew Research Center has just published some interesting new research
on the changes the institution of marriage has undergone in recent
years, as women have outpaced men in education and earnings growth.
Their research finds that there has been a 'gender role reversal in
both the spousal characteristics and the economic benefits of
marriage.' While in the past, the economic gains of marriage were
larger for women, these gains are now larger for men. As the article
points out, a typical man did not gain another breadwinner in the
household when he married forty years ago - and now he does!
