Not surprisingly, working class marriage has been tossed into the meat grinder of capitalist crisis. The Jetsons get religion; Fred and Wilma got a divorce; Pebbles and Bam-Bam stay single. "Paradoxically" this acts to make the reproduction of labor power even more costly, as two people living together can do this more efficiently than living alone. Housing rents and transportation, more costly for the lone individual. This only intensifies what I see as the basic problem of U.S. capitalism, for more background see: http://unitedstatesofmarxism.com/2012/01/22/rent-and-the-crisis-of-u-s-capitalist-production/ OTOH it is very encouraging to see the mighty rise of "secularism" within the working class as defined by the WSJ. What's next, socialism!?
