Good news for women interested in #havingitall: New research shows that women who are more highly educated than their husbands are not at higher risk for divorce, reversing a decades-old trend. The paper, published online last week in American Sociological Review, takes a look at (heterosexual) couples who married in the 1950s through the first decade of the new millennium, and found that the tendency for couples in which the wife had more education to split up actually disappeared in the 1990s.
