I found this blurb in a book called "The Divorce Culture" by Barbara Dafoe Whitehead. It is somewhat dated information, as this book was published in 1996, but I think it would be true in what ever time frame it was written because human nature and the laws of economics change very little.
"Indeed, recent data suggest that marriage may be a more important economic resource than a college degree. According to an analysis of 1994 income patterns, the median income of married-parent households whose heads have only a high school diploma is ten percent higher than the median income of college-educated single-parent households."
Marriage is a Divine institution through which God blesses people and nations in so many ways. The economics of it is just one of them.
