Parallel to the double-edged phenomenon of declining divorce rates, the rise in marital equity might be downstream of marriage itself becoming a balkanized feature of the upper middle class.
"The share of men in their prime family-building years (25-45) who are fathers has fallen from two-thirds in 1980 to 53% in 2024. This means almost 1 in 2 men in this group are not dads. It also means the # of men (25-45) who are childless has risen from 10 million in 1980 to 23 million in 2024, a record high."
