It’s code for “you are not only well off enough to care for yourself, you’re well off enough to care for another adult and at least one child.”

Hence the need for a house.

That's my point though. Marriage is no that. You don't care for a partner like you did in the 50s

The point is that you should have the financial freedom to support a family on a single income. The "marriage" part isn't what's important.

Double income, no kids, used to be a trope where the couple had all kinds of time and money to do whatever. Now it's almost the minimum to not be homeless.

It's even worse then, because back then a single income household was all that was needed.
