But research shows there is a “marriage premium” for men that includes:

• A financial return that includes higher earnings, more assets and more job stability. Married men make about $16,000 more than their single peers with otherwise similar backgrounds.

• Better sex lives compared to both single and cohabiting men. According to data from the National Health and Social Life Survey, 51 percent of married men reported they were extremely emotionally satisfied with sex, compared to 39 percent of cohabiting men and 36 percent of single men.

• Longer lives. Men who get and stay married live almost 10 years longer than their unmarried peers. Also, young married men are about twice as happy: 43 percent of married men report they are “very happy” with life, compared to 20 percent of single men and 24 percent of cohabiting men.

If the marriage is a solid jointly-oriented economic partnership, the additional money supports a woman who then manages the balance for the good of the family in a way that does amazing things that the man would not have time for or have dreamed of himself.

If the marriage is not a solid jointly-oriented economic partnership, the additional money supports a woman who then manages the balance for her warped idea of the good of the family in a way that does amazing things (claiming to do so for the good of the children and for the good of the man that he cannot conceive of as good for himself) that the man would not have time or have dreamed of himself .
