What’s driving the marriage trend?

At Brookings, an interesting post on whether current marital trends are being driven mainly by economics or mainly by value changes.  My view is, value changes; these author argue, it’s mainly/largely economics.

  1. “For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.” Luke 12:34 (KJV)

    My marriage to my amazing husband and mothering my kids are my treasures. And that’s where my heart is.

    If it’s value changes, why would the changes be so linked to economic-class? Do the poor and the middle-class have different values that impact on marriage?
