Their strong belief in marrying well. Their attitude, which some would call mercenary, is that you should go out of your way to marry someone who is successful.
By making marrying well such a priority it pushes the curve upward by making prospective mates strive that much harder to be worthy.
If every person looking to marry is looking for a doctor, a lawyer, or a rabbi, you are forcing more people to raise their standards of achievement.
An upward spiral of the quality of the resultant offspring for so long as the trend continues.
