That marriage part was also the salvation of the Poor White. My dad, relatively uneducated and from WV, married my mother and raised 4 kids - 3 of us went to college and supported ourselves (my sister and I with help from our husbands). A key part is that, although my Dad in his youth did fool around with racier women, he specifically looked for what used to be called a "nice girl" for a wife.

She was a good wife and mother, Bless her soul.
