I have always been pro marriage. Marriage is a beautiful thing if done correctly. Especially if you want children. Every child deserves a two parent household. This article is interesting and states (maybe the obvious) that women who have higher education, tend to stay longer and marry more than uneducated women. I totally agree with this. You have no idea how many uneducated women I am surrounded with who are divorced, cheating, losers, etc. But, the more educated a woman is, the more she seems to understand how important the marriage is. And, she seems to see marriage as a part of her goal in life, like her studies. Uneducated women seem to see marriage as a way of tying a man, alimony, welfare, desire for a child, etc. For an educated woman, it seems as if it means "successful life" to her. That's my experience.
