Studies of middle‐class marriages dominate sociological findings. Studies of marital patterns at the blue‐collar level are less prominent. A neglected area entirely is that of blue‐collar marital patterns in middle‐class income and residential settings. This study examines a friendship nucleus of five couples, summarizing case studies of each to show how blue‐collar patterns are maintained against the resocializing influence of middle‐class income and residence.
