Being married has a lot to do with economic success, scholars say

Being married has a lot to do with economic success, scholars say - The Washington Post:
Researchers W. Bradford Wilcox and Robert I. Lerman have collaborated on a study that I hope will spur lots of conversation and programs to strengthen and encourage marriage.
The report isn’t about criticizing the life choices people make.
There is no judgment in the findings.
Rather, their research shows that stable, two-parent families decrease the chance of people ending up impoverished.
...I was also concerned by their findings that the widening economic gap is exacerbated by the fact that adults with less education and fewer financial assets are choosing not to marry while well-educated, high-earning adults are lifting their economic situation by tying the knot. 
“Thus, higher-income Americans are enjoying larger economic returns from marriage than they used to,” the researchers write.
