"Is this a matter of worse or of better?" To me means she is wondering " is this how things are supposed to be?"... and if so are things going well or are they going badly?

Often times in relationships it's hard to tell. In theory things seem to be going well for them- they are gaining material success and moving up the socioeconomic ladder ( they make a good "team" so to speak) quite possibly a " for better" situation. But on the other hand they are growing apart emotionally and that can be very painful "for worse".
