The All-Or-Nothing Marriage
Major
historical
shifts
in
the
institution
of
marriage
in
America
have
produced
two
major
consequences.
First,
the
quality
of
average
marriages
has
weakened
over
time.
Second,
the
quality
of
the
best
marriages
has
strengthened
over
time.
In
tandem,
these
two
consequences
have
pushed
marriage
toward
an
all-or-nothing
state.
