And the changing economics of marriage. More men reaping거두다 the benefits of their wives’ bigger paychecks. From CBS News world headquarters in New York, this is the CBS Evening News. Finally tonight, a bride and groom promise to stay together for richer or for poorer. But who gets the better end of the deal? Here’s John Blackstone.
At San Francisco city hall today, Jessome Croth and Fostouk Goteir entered into an institution that is both old and changing. For most of its history, marriage was a one-sided affair with the groom had a higher education and made more money. But 34-year-old Jessome with a master’s degree is Fostouk’s equal or better. “For me, I always hoped and dreamed that I meet someone, you know, keep me on my toes정신을 바짝 차리게 하다, keep me challenged.”
More and more men are marrying up their wives have more education and are more likely to earn more. A Pew 미국 인터넷 설문 조사 업체 study shows in 1970, just 4% of married women earned more than their husbands. Now it’s 22%. In marriage and business, it’s not the 60s world depicted in TV’s Mad Man. “I’m not going to let a woman talk to me like this.”
The change has come as more women than men graduate from college. Women’s incomes have been rising faster for four decades going up 44% while rising just 6% for men. TV’s millionaire match maker Patti Stanger says having the wife as breadwinner가장 can be challenging도전의식을 북돋우는. “If it works at works and that’s OK as long as each person is still true to their femininity여성다움 or their masculinity남성성.”
It’s a balance Beverly and Michael Butler have been keeping for 22 years. He is a builder. She is a Wells Fargo Bank vice president and has always earned more. One other big change in 1970, 84% of Americans between 30 and 44 were married. Now that’s dropped to just 60%. John Blackstone, CBS News, San Francisco. And that’s the CBS Evening News. I’m Katie Couric. Thanks for watching. I’ll see you tomorrow.
