The best educated and most prosperous have the most stable families, while working class families have seen the greatest increase in relationship instability. Why? 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; and left a larger group of women with a smaller group of comparable men...

Brenda, Kevin, and the kids were stuck...Brenda had taken a 20 percent pay cut and was told by her boss she should feel "lucky to still have a job". But they were already living paycheck to paycheck.
