Women who are more educated than their husbands are not more likely to get divorced

Noted: ?We found that couples in which both individuals have equal levels of education are now less likely to divorce than those in which husbands have more education than their wives,? said Christine R. Schwartz, lead author of the study and an associate professor of sociology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. ?These trends are consistent with a shift away from a breadwinner-homemaker model of marriage toward a more egalitarian model of marriage in which women?s status is less threatening to men?s gender identity.?
