Hmm, interesting stuff, Lemur, thank you for the read.
I found a couple of the studies results a bit convoluted, or maybe it's just me. But for the most part I thought it made sense.

Interestingly enough, me and my life experience (divorced) are pretty much the exact opposite of what the statistics show: both spouses lotsa edumacation, no divorces in the family, both parents still together, etc.

Not sure if I entirely agree with the correlation between one of the studies and my "feelings". I'm not disputing the studies, or their results, I don't have enough data for that - I'm just saying that to me, it looks and feels like things are different in the world I see around me. I'm referring to the correlation between single mothers and education... my impression is that a lot of women in North America aren't that crazy about having kids, or even getting married anymore. That has to do, I suppose, partially with feminist propaganda (sure, it has some good ideas, but for the most part it's fallen into the other extreme), some with the (positive) increasingly independence (financial, social) of women, and, another personal guess, some with the consumerist nature of the "western" society.
Dang it, I'll try to be a bit more coherent. What I mean is that to me it looks like on the contrary, women with more education are more likely to get a divorce - because they can. From all points of view: financially, socially (no more stigma), etc.

Kinda the same goes for single mothers. The right-hand side graph shows that women with higher education are less likely to be single mothers. I look at it this way (and it seems to me that the _causality_ relation on the wasn't made clear enough): the more educated women are, the more likely they are to want to be independent, and not "tied down" in a marriage or with a kid (that kills their career hopes, etc, etc). Hence, they try harder to avoid having children at all (more paranoid/strict birth control, abortions, focusing on other aspects of life (i.e., career), rather than on relationships, etc). Consequently, there are fewer single mothers among them.
One could still determine a causality relation between the two, I suppose, but to me it feels like it's of a more indirect nature than the article (and/or the graph) seems to suggest.

Aaaanyway, enough ranting, I oughtta get some work done so I can sucker one of 'em high-achiever sugar-mamas into having my babies.
