Glass Ceiling at the Altar

It is a grim psychological and evolutionary reality for powerful women struggling to find their powerful men. That men prefer to marry down rather than up. That, as a recent University of Michigan study found, college-age men looking for long-term relationships would rather marry their secretaries than their bosses.

The study's findings reaffirm a very different world from the one feminists fought for. A world of equality for women in the boardroom and in the home. A world where smart women are desirable and marriages are defined by equal partnership.

Tune in to hear more about the glass ceiling at the altar and the future of marriage in the 21st century.
