Interesting points. I'm not familiar with all that specific data.

So the main theory is that women being more financially independent makes them more likely to get and stay married? And that women were more financially independent 200 years ago than they are today, which is why marriage is less common and less successful now than in the past?

I don't know if they were more personally independent, but they had property rights and access to durable goods other than a house, and they could hold these in title.

(Or on behalf of minor children: a lot of the fuss is about securing inheritance for your own children through something other than a will, rather than letting The New Girl move in and steal or sell their stuff.)
