The college educated women still get married at a decent clip, just they are working harder because they are now involved in career and much of the traditional childcare/housekeeping duties.

I have found that most of the college educated women I know (I admit to some selectivity) put child care and houskeeping into the pre-nup formal or informal.  I was in an early dual career parenting situation and by agreement it was my career that took the hit in parenting considerations.  Justifiably so. I was a white male MBA, and could and did change careers easily when employers said in effect why doesn't your wife do that.  I walked out of a board meeting to deal with a hospital emergency called by my 10 yr old for his 8 yo brother.  When called out for it, afterward, I simply explained that mom was out of town making a presentation at a science conference.  It didn't sit well but even then they couldn't overtly complain, but I could sense another career change in the offing. 

It was part of the understanding when we were both in grad school at the same time before kids.  Whoever had the easiest next few days did the cooking and the housework.  Even though admittedly she was a better cook.  And I didn't like the way she folded underwear.
