 MONEY
DOESN’T BUY HAPPINESS — at
least not for the married women who participated
in a study by University of Virginia
sociologists W. Bradford Wilcox (left)
and Steven L. Nock (right). The study
shows that, while commitment and fairness
do matter in shaping the quality and
character of women’s marriages,
it’s the husband’s emotional
engagement that is key to a woman’s
wedded bliss. The study, “What’s
Love Got to do With It? Equality, Equity,
Commitment and Women’s Marital
Quality,” appears in this month’s
issue of Social Forces, one of the country’s
most highly regarded journals of sociology. Full
