In this reading Kathryn Edin talks about the fact that, fathers that are disadvantaged economically are less likely to marry before having children than middle class fathers are. To support his point of view, the author conducted a series of studies which concluded that economically disadvantaged men do engage in romantic relationship but not with the intention of settling down or getting married. Father - Child relationship is typically what is viewed as central, and is what binds men to couple relationship. Relationship that might not have otherwise formed or been maintained, some men settle down because they get the woman pregnant and other’s because the women are faithful in their absence but not purely out of love for the woman.
