Teaching Upward Mobility
Keyword(s):
This chapter shows how the healthy marriage classes I studied promoted skilled love as the essential link between marriage, financial stability, and upward mobility. It illustrates how the classes taught about the connection between strong relationships and social class without acknowledging how economic deprivation and stress affect romantic relationships. The chapter concludes by highlighting how healthy marriage programs seek to change the relationship choices and behaviors of those in poverty without addressing their structural context.
