  abstract = {<p>In this paper I examine whether one gender is driving the {\textquotedblleft}retreat from marriage{\textquotedblright} among unmarried parents. I use a sample of romantically involved unmarried parents{\textemdash}taken from the Fragile Families and Child Well-Being Survey{\textemdash}to examine whether a gender difference exists in marriage attitudes that are current-relationship specific and not relationship specific, with and without controls of current relationship quality. Using ordered logistical analysis, I find that, net of other factors, men are more positive regarding marriage and their current relationship than their female partners.</p>
