The statement is correct. Marriage builds wealth and divorce destroys it. Documented many times over.

The intentional use of the class-warfare word 'privileged' in the quote is what irks me about it. I believe 'fortunate' is the more appropriate word to use in this context when describing how one's life may turn out, which is based on upbringing, personal choices, happenstance, etc.

However, if the pity-party authors are trying to make the case that society (i.e., the cost of living) should be molded around the single-parent concept, then that will only make the 'privileged' married ones even more so, as they'll have double the support (until the tax man penalizes them.)
